Business insurance for plumbers

Protect your plumbing business with water-tight insurance from State Farm®.

Why you need plumbers insurance

Accidents happen. And when they do, State Farm® plumber insurance could keep your business from going down the drain.

  • Join enough pipe, and a faulty connection will get past you eventually. That’s bad for your customer and bad for your business, too.
  • You don’t play with fire, but fire has its own ideas. Injuries and property damage can happen while soldering, even when you take every precaution.
  • Your tools and materials are serious investments. What would happen if someone walked off with yours?
  • If property at your shop is stolen, damaged, or destroyed, it probably won’t be covered by your home insurance, even if your shop is at home.

Plumbers insurance coverages include

We’ll start with a package of coverages most plumbers need. Then we’ll help you customize them to fit your unique business. The result? A policy that keeps you adequately covered without leaving you high and dry.
  • General liability insurance – helps cover the costs if the work you’ve done hurts someone or damages their property. It can also help if someone is injured at your shop.
  • Property insurance – helps cover the structures you own (your building, shed, warehouse, etc.) and the furniture and supplies within those structures.
  • Mobile equipment insurance – helps cover your tools, machinery, and equipment, which comes in handy when someone decides to skip off with yours.
  • Installation insurance – helps cover materials, including pipes, cement, toilets, sink fixtures, connectors, and other plumbing supplies.
  • Surety bonds – required in many jurisdictions – guarantee you’ll perform your work according to all codes, laws, and ordinances to meet your licensing requirements. And since we sell and service our own bonds, we can typically provide them faster than most and at a competitive price.

Consider adding additional coverages

Some plumbing businesses need additional coverage to deal with increased risk. Not a problem because your local State Farm agent will work with you to understand and help meet your needs.
