Plumber Insurance
Business insurance built and priced for plumbing work, from service calls to full re-pipes.
Backed by industry leaders
Why do plumbers need insurance?
You work with water, under pressure, inside someone else’s home or building. When a fitting lets go or a client slips on a wet floor, Commercial General Liability is the policy that answers.
It can pay the claim and the legal defense. That’s why general contractors, property managers, and many licensing and permit offices want your certificate on file before you start.

What other coverages do plumbers need?
Errors & Omissions
For the design, spec, and consulting side of your work: claims of financial loss caused by the advice or service you provided. With Foxquilt, you can hold CGL and E&O together.
See E&O Coverage →Can cover your own gear: the press tool, the drain camera, the jetter, the stock in the van. CGL only pays for other people’s property, so this is the other half of the pair.
Learn More→Can cover the vans, trucks, and trailers you drive to site. Your personal auto policy very likely excludes business use.
Learn More→Can cover medical care and lost wages when an employee or apprentice is hurt on the job, like a back injury hauling a water heater down the stairs. Required in most U.S. states the moment you hire your first employee.
Learn More→Can cover a breach of customer data, a ransomware lock-out on your scheduling software, or a deposit wired to a fraudster.
Learn More→It depends on the plumbing work you do (service and repair or new construction, residential or commercial), your revenue, and where you work. The quote you see online is the real price, not an estimate we revise later.
It can cover water damage your work causes to a client’s or third party’s property: the soaked drywall, flooring, and belongings. Our team of experts is happy to review policy terms and exclusions with you before purchasing.
In many places, yes. Requirements are set by your state, province, or municipality, so check with your licensing board for the limit they need. You can choose that limit when you quote online with Foxquilt.
Depending on where your business is located and the work that you do, coverage limits available to you range from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000.
Your first COI is emailed the moment your payment clears. After that you can issue a new one yourself - including naming an additional insured - in about a minute, as many times as you need, at no charge.
Yes, and we don't charge for it. Add them during the application or any time after, then download the certificate showing them named.
Yep! That's why contractors love Foxquilt. Add each profession during the application and assign a rough percentage of your work to each. We rate the blend, so a plumber who takes on small handyman jobs isn’t priced as though every job were a re-pipe.
Usually, yes. A homeowner's policy won't respond to a business claim, and sole operators face the same third-party injury and damage claims a ten-person shop does. Most general contractors and property managers require it in writing before you start.
Yes. Pay the annual premium up front, or spread it across monthly instalments at checkout. Either way coverage starts as soon as the first payment is confirmed.
What real small business owners say after choosing Foxquilt.
The process was smooth and simple. In addition to that, they offered the best coverage out of all of the other companies I researched.
I've been a client at Foxquilt for the past year, having switched my business insurance over because of their affordable rates and seamless service. I recently had to file a claim and couldn't be more pleased with the care and service that Nick offered in the process. Thanks to him, things got resolved quickly and easily. Happy to have landed at Foxquilt.
