Plumbers Insurance: Don’t Let a Leak Drain Your Business

Plumbing is an essential service, but it’s not without risks. From burst pipes to accidental property damage, plumbers face unique challenges that require specialized insurance coverage. Protect your business and your livelihood with the right insurance plan.

Why Standard Business Insurance Might Not Be Enough

While a basic business owner’s policy (BOP) can offer some protection, it might not adequately address the unique risks plumbers face:

  • Water damage liability: A simple mistake can lead to flooding or water damage in a customer’s home or business, resulting in significant repair costs and potential lawsuits.
  • Equipment and tool theft: Plumbers often carry valuable tools and equipment that are attractive targets for theft.
  • On-the-job injuries: Plumbing work can involve heavy lifting, confined spaces, and exposure to hazardous materials, increasing the risk of workplace injuries.

Essential Insurance Coverages for Plumbers

A comprehensive insurance plan for plumbers should include:

  • General Liability Insurance: Covers bodily injury and property damage to third parties caused by your plumbing work, including water damage liability.
  • Professional Liability Insurance (Errors and Omissions): Protects against financial losses due to mistakes, oversights, or allegations of negligence in your plumbing services.
  • Workers’ Compensation Insurance: Provides coverage for employees injured on the job (required in Oregon).
  • Commercial Auto Insurance: Covers vehicles used for business purposes against damage, theft, and liability in the event of an accident.
  • Tools and Equipment Insurance: Protects your valuable tools and equipment from theft, damage, or loss.

Additional Coverage to Consider:

Depending on your specific business needs, you might also want to explore:

  • Inland Marine Insurance: Covers your tools and equipment while in transit or at different job sites.
  • Cyber Liability Insurance: Protects against data breaches and cyber attacks if you store sensitive customer information or use online payment systems.
  • Business Interruption Insurance: Provides income replacement if your business is forced to close temporarily due to a covered event.
