Prepare, Prevent, Protect
Mitigate the damage inflected by these severe weather events by taking steps to prepare, prevent and protect your property in the event of a hailstorm.
(Applicable to Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba only)
Prepare
Have an emergency kit ready:
- Flashlight
- Water
- Snacks
- First Aid
- Batteries
Stay away from windows & doors.
Store/secure patio furniture, BBQs, etc.
Park car in carport/garage (if possible).
Prevent
Install hail-resistant materials:
- Class 4 asphalt shingles
- Concrete, clay or slate tiles
- Rubber
- Wood shakes or shingles
These upgrades can reduce the damage storms can bring.
Protect
In the event of an insured loss, Aviva’s Roof & Siding coverage offers up to $2,500 for purchase of hail-resistant materials to replace roof/siding.
How the Roof & Siding Limitation endorsement works
Applies to damage from a hailstorm, windstorm or the weight of ice, snow or sleet in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.*
Age Adjusted Cost Factor
A claim is settled based on age adjusted cost (similar to depreciation). This approach factors in the material and its age at the time of the insured loss. (Replacement /repair costs are subject to reduction from installation date to the date of loss or damage.)*
Affected materials
The age adjusted cost factor will be applied to the following types of roofs or siding in an insured loss:
- Asphalt shingles (excluding Class 4 Hail Resistant)
- Flat roofs made of tar and gravel or membrane
- Vinyl and or aluminum siding
Minimum deductible
The minimum deductible varies per province. Please speak with your broker to learn more.
