Workers' Compensation Insurance

Most states require workers’ compensation for plumbing employers. This coverage pays for medical bills and lost wages when an employee is injured on the job, protecting your business from costly lawsuits.

Example: A plumber falls from a ladder while servicing a commercial property. Workers’ compensation covers medical treatment and lost income during recovery.

Commercial Auto Insurance

Your business relies on vehicles for transporting tools, materials, and workers across job sites. Commercial auto insurance covers your fleet against accidents, theft, and other incidents.

Example: A company van is involved in an accident while traveling to a job site. Commercial auto coverage handles vehicle repairs and liability claims.

Inland Marine / Tools and Equipment Insurance

The tools and machinery essential for your plumbing work represent a significant investment. Inland marine coverage protects against theft, loss, or damage, allowing you to quickly replace or repair essential equipment.

Example: Your pipe threading machine and specialized tools are stolen from a job site. This coverage reimburses the replacement cost so your work continues without interruption.

Commercial Umbrella Insurance

An umbrella policy gives your plumbing business protection from catastrophic losses that exceed underlying policy limits. It is relatively inexpensive and protects you from claims that could otherwise wipe out your business financially.

Example: A major liability claim against your company exceeds your general liability policy limits. The umbrella policy covers the remaining balance up to its limit.

Our comprehensive plumbing insurance services ensure your business is well-protected against various liability risks, regulatory requirements, and financial threats specific to your state.

FAQ: Plumbers Insurance, Licensing and Requirements

Plumbing contractor insurance does not cover everything. Common exclusions include damage caused by subcontractors you hired, theft of your own tools and equipment under a general liability policy, injuries to employees that occur outside of work hours, work performed in states not listed on your policy, and vehicles used for business purposes under a personal auto policy. Understanding these gaps is essential to making sure your business has the right combination of coverages in place.

Generally, no. Your general liability policy covers work performed by you and your direct employees. If a subcontractor you hired causes damage or injury, their own liability policy is expected to respond first. This is why Contractors Liability® recommends always requiring subcontractors to carry their own insurance and listing your business as an additional insured on their policy before work begins.

No. General liability insurance is designed to cover third-party claims for bodily injury and property damage, not your own business property. To protect your tools and equipment from theft, loss, or damage, you need a separate inland marine or tools and equipment policy. Given how much a full set of plumbing tools costs to replace, this coverage is strongly recommended.
No. Workers’ compensation only applies to injuries that occur in the course and scope of employment. If an employee is injured during personal time, outside of job site activities, or while commuting on their own, workers’ compensation will not cover those medical costs. Coverage begins when the employee is performing work-related duties.
Not always. Most general liability policies are issued for a specific state and may not automatically extend coverage to work performed in other states. If you regularly take on jobs outside your home state, you need to notify your insurer and add those states to your policy. Working in an unlisted state could leave you exposed if a claim arises there.
No. Personal auto insurance policies exclude vehicles used for business purposes. If you are involved in an accident while driving a van loaded with tools and materials on the way to a job, your personal insurer can deny the claim entirely. A commercial auto insurance policy is required to properly cover any vehicle used in your plumbing business operations.
