Checking insurance: an important step in preparing for heavy rainfall

The high amounts of rainfall that we are expected to see in Southern Alberta has many residents inspecting their sump pumps. But checking your flood-protection equipment is only one part of what you should be doing.  According to Rob de Pruis of the Insurance Bureau of Canada, you should also go over your home insurance policy to ensure you have the right coverage.
In addition to checking your sump pump and your insurance coverage, de Pruis says you should also be checking that the ground is graded away from your house and that your downspouts are also properly aimed.
