Why Bother
The "Why Bother?" – Understanding the Risk & Investment.
My basement has never flooded. Is this really a necessary investment?
Think of it like physical insurance not just a promise to pay it s*it happens. Climate change has increased extreme rainfall in Toronto, overwhelming aging municipal sewers. Flooding is often a "when," not an "if." Proactive protection safeguards your property's value, avoids unimaginable disruption, and is viewed favorably by insurance companies and future home buyers.
If your home was built before 2000, has clay or cast-iron pipes, or is located in an older Toronto neighbourhood, you should not assume you’re safe.
