3 Most Common Liability Claims Against Plumbing Contractors

1. 1. Faulty work resulting in property damage

Even if you never leave a job site until you are fully satisfied that the installation or repair job has been done right, the pipes that you used spring a leak, resulting in property damage.

1. 2. Negligence resulting in Injury

 Implementing safe practices with every member of your crew may not be enough to prevent accidents on the job site. You could still find yourself liable for the customer’s medical bills.

1. 3. Damage to customer property

Working in a tight area could see you drop a heavy tool and crack the bathroom tiles. So, it is vital to have insurance coverage that protects your customer’s property just in case.
