Residents on Adams Avenue in Ottawa say they're worried they could no longer be eligible for insurance because of repeated floods.
"It receded quite quickly within four hours but the damage is done," she said.She estimates the cleanup alone will cost close to $30,000.
"We will see how far the money goes, but I eventually will I'm sure," she said. "The coverage dropped to 30k from probably 100; that's just after one flood. After this I'm pretty sure it won't be insurable at all." "Previously, I've had to cover three of my claims myself. I didn't put it through because of risk of losing my coverage completely," said O'Reilly.
"An insurance company is not going to pay out tens of thousands of dollars every year on one policy," said Anne Marie Thomas, the director of director of consumer and industry relations at IBC. "In a lot of cases, you can buy coverage for sewer backup and overland flood."
