In Cambridge, 86% of the representative premium goes to the core home policy while 14% goes to enhanced water protection; the table shows dollar amounts.

The Grand River in Cambridge means the decision about water is largely driven by elevation and drainage. Check your flood-zone report, the sewer-backup limit and deductible, and make sure that your older home’s plumbing and electrical upgrades are properly disclosed under your base policy.

*Comprehensive coverage typically insures the structure of your dwelling, as well as your personal belongings against any and all risks of loss unless they are excluded by the policy. Some common perils that are covered are: fire, smoke, wind, hail, lightning, certain kinds of sudden water damage, theft, vandalism, falling objects. All coverages are subject to policy conditions, exclusions, limits, and deductibles.

What Cambridge Homeowners Should Check

Here are some details for Cambridge homeowners that can help you understand the difference between a general water protection and the limited endorsement:

• whether the policy includes sewer backup plus both surface-water and groundwater protection.
• whether the water coverages have separate limits or use one shared limit.
• whether separate water endorsements carry separate deductibles.
• what the insurer excludes as maintenance, wear and tear or long-term water damage.
• whether the property’s location, construction or loss history restricts eligibility.

It is easier to assess a Cambridge quote if we can see the cause of water damage, shared limits, exclusions and deductibles all in one place.

So with Cambridge’s history on the Grand River, I’d recommend that the Low-Medium label be read with a grain of salt. The Tornado risk is Medium and Snowstorm risk is Medium-High. Established neighbourhoods and new developments have different drainage issues.
