Plumbers Insurance

As a plumber, you have a skill that your clients rely on heavily when they have an issue in their home or workspace. They expect you to get the job done professionally, and with no mistakes — which is a tall order when you’re responsible for installing and repairing piping.

You also know that when something needs fixing in a client’s home, it often needs immediate attention. Whether a pipe is leaking, a toilet won’t stop running, or an appliance needs to be installed, your client expects you to get the job done in a timely fashion, which can amplify the likelihood of on-the-job mistakes.

And, as a small business owner, you will be held responsible for them.

Imagine you set up your equipment in a client’s hallway and run out to your truck to retrieve a forgotten tool. While you were outside, your client tripped over your toolbox and sustained a pretty serious knee injury. If you’re not protected with a Plumbers Insurance policy, you may find yourself personally responsible for paying those costs, along with the fees of hiring an attorney to defend yourself. It’s the kind of thing that can put you out of business quickly.

Beyond the risk of potential injury, you could also be held liable if your client suffers property damage while you perform your services. If you install a pipe improperly and it leaks, flooding the kitchen, your client can sue you for the damages.

This is why all plumbers need general liability insurance. General Liability protects you from third-party claims of bodily injury and property damage that may arise out of your work in people’s homes or facilities.

Do something great for your business. Protect yourself with Plumbers Liability Insurance from Thimble and enjoy the confidence that comes from running a business, protected from risk.

The cost of your Plumbing Insurance coverage depends on a few factors. Things like your zip code, your coverage limit, the size of your team, and the length of your coverage all play a factor in determining the risk that comes with insuring your plumbing business.

With Thimble, you don’t have to commit to long, expensive policies, though. You can access flexible plumbing insurance through the Thimble app and customize your coverage down to the month, day, or hour. Plus, if you need to add Additional Insureds, you can tack them on to your coverage with Thimble at no extra cost.
