Horrible Service.

1 out of 5 stars
I had any excellent experience when my hot water heater broke in 2006 and my basement was flooded. This year it has been a horrible process after having electronics stolen.
The adjuster was unbelievably rude. She didn't ask me any questions at all just went with the report that I gave earlier. She wasn't even aware of what had been stolen or the circumstances.
It was impossibly to get hold of her and she never returned any of my calls. I called her manager and her manager never returned my calls.
Many, many weeks and still no decision about paying my claim!!
I have had to go to the ombudsman!
5-star service from start to finish! I’ve been a long-time TD Meloxeh Monnex customer for over 10 years. In July 2018, I had major flooding in my house due to a blockage in the main drain. Water was flooding my main floor and basement during the night. I called TD and was immediately reassured that I was covered and that help was in the way. Première Generàl Laval was quickly sent to clean up and demolish in my basement. They worked tirelessly and efficiently to clean up major damage quickly. My adjuster was excellent and went way above and beyond to make sure that I was well taken care of and comfortable. He was always calling me to let me know that he was sending claim payments. I never had to be concerned about receiving the payments, nor did I have to wait. I had to move out of my house for two weeks and he provided me with top-notch apartment accommodations. TD Meloche Monnex is a reliable and trustworthy company!
Canadians pay, on average, approximately $20 per month in tenants insurance. Do you rent or plan to rent a property and want to reduce insurance costs? We will help you get a cheap tenant insurance quote today.
I had a flood in my Basement February 20th. I called and submitted a claim and was told an adjuster would reach out in 1 business day.
Two days have passed and no call. Everytime i call they are surprised my adjuster hasnt called and promise he will reach out to me shortly, but no luck. The agent I spoke to yesterday said i was most likely covered and had been lumped under a catasprophe group.
Today they informed me (i had to call again) that uless there is a burst pipe that none of their policies (i have platinum) cover a rainstorm coming in your home through walls, doors or windows. 54 hours to find out they wont even come look at it. In tje meantime the extent of tje damage is worse and is going to cost me more. I will not be renewing my home or auto policies next month when they renew.
We had a basement flood after a pipe burst. They were quick to respond, seemed fair in their coverage, and the representative we dealt with was very personable and helped us smooth out any little bumps (like speeding up the contractor now and then!).
I recently reviewed the insurance on 3 properties and they all have increased on average 15% per year over the last 5 years. This increase is not in line with inflation and when questioned I am given the same response that they made a calculating error in their policies causing an disproportionate increase in claims. Furthermore my coverage is decreasing and limits are being set which no longer provide adequate insurance. My sewer backup limit has dropped to $15K from $61K and my premium for this coverage increased $12. Being familiar with the cost of claims I am well aware that $15K will likely only cover the cost of tearing a basement apart and drying it up but leave nothing for restoration or contents. I called to ask why my policy was amended and now under-insured and was told that all policies are now capped at $15K for sewer backup unless I purchase additional insurance. All 3 properties are rated by TDMM as a category 3 risk for sewer backup however the cost to increase coverage from 15K to 50K varies from $35 - $78 per year. They could not answer why the cost for the additional $35K of coverage would vary for properties in the same city, geographical region and risk group.
They also informed me it is my responsibility to know my insurance needs and they can change rates and coverage at any time.
In short I no longer trust TDMM as they are not looking out for me and helping me manage my risk but only care about their risk and their bottom line. If you are not an insurance expert I would stay away from TDMM as their policies are not designed to help you in your time of need.
BTW 10 years insured and never a claim.

Last year my basement was damaged due to sewer back up and water seeped in from foundation due to sump pump failure. Claim was denied. Only few clients were impacted so TD denied all the claims. Now TD is covering same type of claims in Calgary and High River only due to media pressure and their competitors are covering claims.
I should have gone to media at that time. I need to find a good lawyer and file a publice interest petition against this organization who changes it's stand on daily basis.
