What Plumbing Insurance Covers

General Liability

Covers water damage to customer property, bodily injury on job sites, and completed operations claims. Water damage is the #1 plumbing claim — GL is your front line.

Surety Bond

Required for your Oklahoma plumbing license. Protects customers if you abandon a job or fail to meet code. Typically $5,000 to $15,000 depending on your license class.

Workers' Compensation

Covers medical bills and lost wages for injured employees. Plumbing involves trenching, heavy lifting, and confined spaces — all high-risk activities.

Commercial Auto

Covers your service vans and the equipment inside them. A loaded plumbing van can carry $10,000+ in tools — personal auto won't cover that.
