One week after homes were flooded in St. Catharines, some residents are now facing thousands of dollars in damages.

Residents were shocked to find out the damages won’t be covered by insurance.

Two families say the creeks at the sides of their homes were over capacity and couldn’t take all the rain water from the surrounding farm land.

According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada the damages aren’t covered by insurance because the flooding is what’s called overland, which is when water comes through windows and doors.
