The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation has said that about 30,000 Canadian homes are damaged by water each and every year. The cost to repair all the damage is estimated at about $140 million!
According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, water damage is the single greatest cause of home insurance claims. That means more than theft, fire or other weather-related damage.

Damage to your Health
Water slowly seeping into your home can create an ideal growing environment for mould and bacteria; they thrive in damp places. Breathing in these can make you and your family cough and sneeze, give you headaches, or even worse.
