Montréal, August 29, 2011 - Following heavy rains and important winds brought by Irene in Québec, Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) would like to remind citizens affected that property damages caused by these high winds, that most home and automobile insurance policies cover property damage. Concerning sewer backup and water seepage, these damages are covered if policyholders have previously purchased this type of protection, which is generally sold as a rider. About the overland flooding or damages caused by floods, IBC recalls that that these types of claims are not covered by any insurance contracts.
