Water Damage Is the #1 Home Insurance Claim in Canada

Water damage now accounts for nearly 50% of all home insurance claims in Canada. It’s more common than fire or theft—and often more expensive.

A small leak from a washing machine hose, a cracked pipe in a wall, or an overflowing hot water tank can result in thousands of dollars in damage. In many cases, homeowners don’t know there’s a problem until it’s too late.

Average claim: $15,000+
Severe cases: $40,000+ for flooded basements, condos, or commercial units
Time to fix: Weeks to months of repair and cleanup

What Causes It?

  • Old plumbing in homes, condos, and buildings
  • Frozen or burst pipes
  • Forgotten taps and valves
  • Appliance failures (hot water tanks, washing machines, dishwashers)

What Happens Without Protection?

  • Mold, rot, and structural issues
  • Long insurance claims and unexpected costs
  • Possible tenant displacement or business disruption
  • Emotional stress during recovery

💧 How We Help

  • 🔹 Water Sensors

    Detect leaks in high-risk areas—under sinks, behind appliances, near water heaters, and in laundry rooms. Small sensors catch water early before it spreads.

  • 🔹 Instant Notifications

    If water is detected, you’ll get a real-time alert on your phone. Whether you’re at home or away, you’ll know right away.

  • 🔹 Automatic Shutoff Valves

    When a leak is confirmed, the system closes the valve automatically—stopping water flow and preventing major damage.
