Common Risks Facing Plumbing Contractors
Plumbing contractors regularly work in confined spaces, around hazardous waste, and with pressurized systems — and any mistake can result in significant property damage or injury.
Water Damage Claims
Faulty connections, improperly installed pipes, or missed shutoffs can cause thousands in water damage. Completed operations GL covers these claims.
Sewage and Contamination
Working with sewage systems creates pollution and contamination exposure. Consider whether your work requires pollution liability coverage.
Slip and Fall in Crawl Spaces
Working in tight, wet, or slippery conditions creates injury risk. Workers comp protects you when employees are hurt.
Gas Line Work
Plumbers who work with gas lines face explosion and CO exposure risk. Disclose gas work to your insurer for proper coverage.
High-Value Damage Potential
A burst pipe in a commercial building or multi-family structure can cause hundreds of thousands in damage. Adequate GL limits are critical.
Vehicle Accidents
Service plumbers drive daily to multiple locations. Commercial auto is essential for protecting your fleet and your business.
