Insurance woes
– moneysense.ca
At least one insurance company is raising rates in the wake of severe summer weather in Canada. TD Meloche Monnex will lower the basic coverage for the sewer backup coverage from $50,000 to $15,000 while the premium will rise from $129 to $138, according to reports. The changes affect renewals only and come after devastating floods in Calgary and surrounding area in June and July as well as a flash flood that caught Toronto offgaurd soon after flooding basements and cutting power to thousands of homes.
