OTIP's Home Business Protector offers coverage for:
Sewer Back-Up/Water Endorsement Coverage for sewer back-up/water varies depending on where you live. Contact an OTIP customer service representative at 1-866-561-5559 for information on different coverage levels and rates in your area. Overland Water Protection If you have sewer back-up protection, you can also purchase overland water protection. This protects your property from loss or damages should water enter your property as a result of heavy rains, spring run-off or overflowing lakes or rivers. Bylaw Coverage Municipalities sometimes enact bylaws that mandate certain rebuilding or repairs. All of our dwelling policies exclude loss or increased repair costs arising as a result. The bylaw coverage extension overrides the bylaw exclusion, up to a maximum of $100,000 and may be added to all residential policy types except Tenant insurance. Specialized Coverage for Special Needs At OTIP, we recognize certain items and situations fall outside a standard home insurance policy. That’s why our dedicated team of experts offer a wide variety of solutions to meet any need, from short-term storage and buildings under construction to vacant homes and special event requirements.
