Expert Plumbing Insurance – Policies Tailored to Your Needs

The Unseen Threats Lurking in Every Plumbing Business:

The plumbing industry is the backbone of modern infrastructure—without it, homes flood, businesses shut down, and communities suffer. Yet, behind every successful plumber lies a harsh reality. Many plumbing businesses encounter major insurance claims within their first few years. Even more concerning, a significant number of plumbers admit to working without adequate coverage, risking their livelihoods on luck alone.

At Midwest Select Insurance Group, we’ve dedicated years to understanding the unique risks plumbers face, and what we’ve uncovered is alarming. From lawsuits over accidental water damage to stolen tools crippling productivity, the threats are real, and relentless.

This isn’t just about insurance; it’s about survival. Imagine rebuilding a client’s bathroom only to face a $30,000 lawsuit because a pipe burst weeks later. Or arriving at a job site to find your $10,000 tool trailer stripped bare. These nightmares aren’t hypothetical—they’re daily realities for plumbers nationwide. But they don’t have to be yours. 

Why Plumbing Insurance Is the Lifeline Your Business Can’t Ignore:

Plumbing is a profession built on trust. Clients rely on you to protect their homes, but who protects you? Standard business insurance policies can fall short, offering generic coverage that ignores the nuances of plumbing work. For example, a general liability policy might cover a client’s slip-and-fall accident but exclude water damage caused by a faulty installation. These gaps leave plumbers vulnerable to catastrophic financial losses.

Consider this: Plumbers. Yet, many assume their savings or a basic policy will suffice. The truth is, without tailored coverage, a single lawsuit could drain their finances, force layoffs, or even shut down their business entirely. And it’s not just legal issues—stolen tools from job sites result in significant financial losses, highlighting the fragility of this trade.

At Midwest Select Insurance Group, we reject the “one-size-fits-all” approach. Our policies are crafted by experts in insurance who understand the trade’s risks, from sewer backups that lead to mold growth to accidental damage of client belongings. We don’t just sell insurance; we build shields for your business.

Why Plumbing Insurance Isn’t Optional (Pain Points + Facts)

The Five Core Risks Plumbers Face (And Why General Insurance Fails)

Third-Party Liability: The Silent Business Killer

• The Reality: Many plumbing contractors face liability claims each year, often resulting in substantial legal fees and settlements.
• Imagine This: A faulty pipe installation floods a client’s home, ruining valuable furniture. Without liability insurance, the financial burden falls entirely on you, potentially costing tens of thousands in damages.

Tools & Equipment Theft: A Plumber’s Nightmare

• The Hard Truth: Tool theft is a widespread issue, with plumbers losing valuable equipment at job sites.
• The Solution: Our policy program features offer replacements for stolen or damaged tools.

Workers’ Compensation: Protect Your Team

• The Risk: Plumbing is among the most injury-prone trades, with workers frequently facing hazardous conditions.
• Why It Matters: If an employee falls off a ladder and is unable to work, the responsibility for their medical expenses and lost wages falls on you. Workers’ compensation isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a safeguard for your business and your team.

Commercial Vehicle Risks: More Than Just a Fender Bender

• The Scenario: A work van collides with a luxury car. Repair costs and legal fees could become a major financial setback without commercial auto insurance.
