FAQs

Common Questions from Plumbing Contractors Businesses

What equipment can be covered under equipment breakdown?

Hydro-jetting units, pipe cameras, vacuum excavation equipment, and other powered specialty tools can be covered for sudden and accidental mechanical failure.

Does equipment breakdown cover rental equipment I'm using on a job?

Your own equipment breakdown policy covers your owned equipment. For rented equipment, you should verify coverage with the rental company or purchase a rental equipment endorsement.

Isn't equipment breakdown covered by commercial property?

Standard commercial property policies cover damage from external causes — fire, storm, theft. They typically exclude mechanical or electrical breakdown from internal failure. Equipment breakdown coverage specifically addresses that internal failure scenario.

Does this cover normal wear and tear?

No — equipment breakdown covers sudden and accidental failure, not gradual deterioration or wear and tear. Routine maintenance issues and end-of-life breakdowns are generally excluded.
