Most plumbers and pipe fitters can find a variety of insurance products through our insurance agency. What level and variety of plumbers insurance coverage is right for you?

NOTE: Our insurers will not write a policy for plumbers that will do industrial, medical facility, sprinkler system or municipal work.

As with any business the bottom line is a concern. We have seen premiums under $500 a year. Keep in mind there is likely not enough coverage for most businesses at this minimal coverage. Many plumbers will find coverage around $1,000 per year. For specific information on policies that fit your needs, including Commercial General Liability, Commercial Auto, Workers Compensation, and NYS DBL and PFL please contact us at 607-843-8860 or email insurance@drickardinsurance.com.

Hint: The longer you have been in business and insured the better opportunity you have for the best insurance pricing. So keep your insurance even during your off-season.

The One Man Show

You work by yourself, or with an occasional helper, handling the type of plumbing service needs found in a residential, office, or light commercial. The Commercial General Liability policies we have found generally range from less than $500 to $1,200 per year if you only work by yourself. To add an occasional helper or part time worker will add usually less than $300 to $400 annually. This type of policy does not include your tools, and other property coverage that you may need. We strongly encourage you to get more than the smallest policy you can find for many the reasons we are happy to discuss with you at insurance@drickardinsurance.com or 607-843-8860. If you have a helper you will need the mandatory employment insurances required by New York State.

Note: Your helpers and "independent contractors" may actually be considered employees. NYS has specific rules for what is an employee and what is an independent contractor. If the helper, independent, sub contractor that works for you does not have their own insurance you may need to cover them under your general liability, workers compensation and NYS DBL/PFL policies.
