Industry Risks

Unique Risks You Face

Plumbing contractors face some of the highest property damage liability in the trades — a single pipe failure can cause hundreds of thousands in water damage.

Water & Flood Damage

Pipe failures, improper installations, or burst lines can cause catastrophic property damage to client structures.

Completed Operations Liability

Leaks or failures discovered months after job completion still create liability for the plumber who installed the work.

Mold Claims

Slow leaks from improper plumbing can lead to mold growth and expensive remediation lawsuits.

Sewer & Drain Backups

Improper drain installation causing sewage backflow leads to significant property damage and health claims.

Employee Injuries

Working in tight spaces, with hazardous materials, and under pressure creates high injury risk.
