Plumbing Liability Insurance
Your specialty is our specialty.
What coverage do I need as a plumbing business?
As a plumber, you may specialize in residential, commercial, or industrial plumbing. If you or your employees or subcontractors are negligent in their work or make a mistake, your customer could be up to their knees in water and damaged property. While the type of coverage you need may vary a bit according to whether you are a general plumbing contractor with employees or subcontractors, or are a one-man shop, you need liability insurance to keep your own business above water.

What should plumbing insurance cover?
Liability insurance for a plumbing contractor usually covers claims made against you in several circumstances:
- If the customer claims that you or an employee caused bodily injury
- If the customer claims that your completed work caused injury or damage
- If the customer claims you provided poor workmanship or did the job improperly
- If fixtures or equipment you provided malfunctioned and caused injury or property damage
As a plumbing professional, you will also want the security of having other coverages in place for your business. For example, you may need:
- Property damage to cover your premises and your equipment whether on or off site.
- Business income and extra expenses to restore your revenue if a loss temporarily shuts down your business
- Employment dishonesty coverage to cover employee theft
- Coverage for newly acquired or constructed property to protect buildings under renovation
You may obtain this valuable coverage as a part of your business owners policy (BOP) or separately. You may also need:
- Contractors insurance to cover Injuries to subcontractors if you sub out work
- Commercial auto insurance to protect you or your workers driving company vans on the job
- Workers compensation for your employees who may become hurt on the job
