General Liability Insurance
for Plumbing Contractors
A single plumbing error — a pipe fitting that fails, a drain clog that causes a backup, a solder joint that gives way — can cause thousands of dollars in water damage to a customer's home or business. General liability covers the cost of that damage and defends you if the customer sues, protecting the business you've built.

FAQs
Common Questions from Plumbing Contractors Businesses
Does general liability cover water damage caused by my plumbing work?
Yes. If your work results in a leak or flood that damages a customer's property, your general liability policy covers the repair costs and any legal claims from the property owner.
What limits do I need as a plumbing contractor?
Most commercial and multifamily work requires $1M–$2M. Residential customers and landlords often require $500K–$1M. Our agents help match your limits to your contracts.
How much general liability coverage do I need?
Common options range from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence, with higher aggregate limits available. Requirements vary by industry and client contracts. A licensed agent can discuss what's appropriate for your business size and risk.
Does general liability cover my employees?
No — employee injuries are covered by workers compensation, not general liability. GL focuses on third-party claims from customers, vendors, and the public.
