The leak that surfaces three weeks after you invoice

Plumbing insurance,
in plain English

Water finds everything — including your liability. Cover leaks, floods, and the callback that comes three weeks later.

Two minutes, and a licensed agent follows up once we can place coverage in your state.

How we get you covered

The things that actually go wrong on plumbing jobs, and the coverage that answers for each one.

General liability — completed operations
General liability
Tools & equipment
Workers' comp

Covered vs. not covered — before you pay

General liability — PlumbingExclusions up front
Covered
  • Water damage traced to your work
  • Damage caused while accessing pipes
  • Failures surfacing after completion
Not covered — read this first
  • Known code violations
  • Your own tools and machines (tools & equipment)
  • Employee injuries (workers' comp)

The coverages plumbers usually stack

General liability — If your work damages someone's stuff or hurts someone who isn't your employee, this pays. It's the policy every client COI request is really asking about.
Tools & equipment — Covers your own gear — stolen from the van, dropped off a ladder, fried on site. General liability never pays for your own stuff; this does.
Workers' compensation — Pays medical bills and lost wages when your employee is hurt working. Required by law in most states once you hire — construction rules are strictest.
Commercial auto — Your personal auto policy can deny claims that happen while working. If the van carries ladders and invoices, it needs a commercial policy.

What drives your price

We don't publish a "from $X a month" number, because for plumbers it would be close to meaningless — the same work prices very differently depending on classification, payroll, claims history, and state. Get a real quote instead; it takes about two minutes and no one calls you.

Why plumbers switch to Flannable

Exclusions before checkout

Others reveal the fine print at checkout — or add it after you buy. Ours is on this page, above.

Renewals get re-shopped

If your renewal jumps, we re-shop it across carriers automatically and show you the math — we're an independent agency, not a captive one.

COIs that stay alive

Self-serve certificates, and renewal certs re-sent to every holder before they expire — so an expired COI never costs you a job. That's what we're building first.

Frequently asked questions

Do plumbers need insurance in Florida?

Florida licensed plumbing contractors must show general liability (commonly $100K/$300K minimums at the county level) plus workers' comp or a valid exemption.

Does it cover a leak that shows up weeks later?

Yes — that's completed-operations coverage, included in a proper general liability policy. It's the single most important line on a plumber's policy.

What's the biggest pricing factor?

Claims history, then payroll, then whether you touch gas lines.
