Protect Your Plumbing Business
Our Plumber Insurance package is designed to plug those risk leaks. We work with 30+ top‑rated carriers to build a coverage plan tailored to your plumbing business — whether you're a solo operator or managing a full crew.
Insurance for Plumbing Contractors in Florida
As a plumber, every job carries potential liability. An accidental flood from a misconnected pipe, a slip‑and‑fall on a wet floor, or a damaged fixture can lead to costly claims. These risks are real, and without the right insurance, one mistake could cost more than just a day’s paycheck.
With our Plumber Insurance, you get a comprehensive mix of policies aimed at protecting you, your tools, your crew, and your reputation, so you can focus on fixing pipes, not worrying about lawsuits or losses.
Tampa
Tampa’s mix of coastal homes, contractors, restaurants, and professional offices requires customized protection. Our policies are built for Gulf Coast weather and rapid growth.
Key Coverages for Plumbers
Here are the essential coverages we recommend for plumbing contractors in Florida:
General Liability Insurance
Covers third‑party bodily injury or property damage caused by your operations (for example, if a repair causes flooding in a customer’s home)
Commercial Auto Insurance
If you use a work van or fleet to travel between job sites, this protects your vehicles, covers accidents, and handles liability while driving.
Inland Marine / Tool & Equipment Floater
Covers your tools, equipment, and materials while they’re in transit or at various job sites — especially important when your tools are vulnerable outside a fixed location.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
If you have employees, this provides coverage for job‑site injuries or illnesses — such as slips, falls, or accidents at a client’s property.
Contractor Bonds / License Bonds
Some jobs — especially those for municipalities or large contractors — require bonds. We can help you secure the proper bonding, ensuring compliance and credibility.
Commercial Property Insurance
If you own a shop, warehouse, or storage for supplies and materials, this coverage protects your business property from fire, theft, storms, or vandalism.
Umbrella / Excess Liability Insurance
For larger projects or higher-risk jobs, an umbrella policy adds additional liability protection above your standard limits, giving you stronger financial security.

Commercial Umbrella Insurance FAQs
Is plumber insurance required by law in Florida?
While Florida law doesn’t mandate general liability for plumbers, licensed plumbing contractors typically need certain amounts of liability insurance and sometimes a contractor bond. If you have employees, workers’ comp may also be required. Many clients or general contractors will insist on proof of insurance before hiring, making coverage practically necessary.
I’m a one‑person plumbing business. Do I really need insurance?
Yes. Even solo plumbers face significant risk. If a repair causes water damage or injury and you’re held liable, costs could far exceed out‑of‑pocket savings. At minimum, liability and tool coverage are wise — and commercial auto if you drive a work vehicle.
Do plumbers need professional liability (Errors & Omissions)?
Generally, no — professional liability covers errors in advice or design, and most plumbing work involves physical repair or installation (which general liability covers). However, if you offer consulting, design-build, or specialized services, you may want to consider it.
What is a bond, and do I need one as a plumber?
A surety bond guarantees you’ll fulfill contract obligations. Some Florida counties or cities require licensing or permit bonds. Government or large projects often require performance or bid bonds. We can help you secure these bonds if required.
