FAQ

Common Questions About Plumbers Insurance

Why is plumber insurance more expensive than some other trades?

Water damage claims can be extensive and expensive. A small leak can cause hundreds of thousands in damage if not caught quickly. Insurance reflects this higher risk, but proper coverage protects your business from devastating claims.

Do I need pollution liability for residential plumbing?

If you work on septic systems, sewage lines, or do any excavation work, pollution liability is important. Standard GL policies often exclude pollution claims, leaving a significant coverage gap for plumbers.

What about coverage for work in high-rise buildings?

High-rise work may require higher liability limits due to the potential for water damage to multiple floors. Some carriers also have height restrictions. We work with carriers experienced in commercial plumbing risks.

How can I reduce my plumbing insurance costs?

Written contracts, pressure testing procedures, proper winterization protocols, and avoiding certain high-risk work (like swimming pools) can reduce premiums. Safety training and water damage prevention programs also help.
