Plumbing contractors face unique risks every day—slippery surfaces, confined spaces, heavy equipment, and exposure to hazardous materials. Whether you're unclogging drains or installing complex piping systems, accidents can happen.

That’s why having a solid Workers Compensation Insurance policy isn’t just smart—it’s essential.
Total Work Comp protects your business and your employees by covering:
💼 Medical expenses from work-related injuries
💰 Lost wages during recovery
🛡️ Employer liability in case of lawsuits
Without it, a single injury could lead to financial strain or legal trouble.
⚠️ Common Risks Faced by Plumbing Contractors
Plumbing work isn’t just about fixing leaks—it’s a physically demanding trade with real hazards. Here are some of the most common risks plumbing contractors face on the job:
Slip and Fall Accidents: Wet surfaces, tight crawl spaces, and uneven terrain can lead to serious injuries.
Exposure to Hazardous Materials: Contact with mold, sewage, or chemicals can cause illness or long-term health issues.
Tool and Equipment Injuries: Power tools, pipe cutters, and heavy machinery pose risks of cuts, burns, and crush injuries.
Confined Space Hazards: Working in attics, basements, or crawl spaces can lead to respiratory issues or entrapment.
Repetitive Motion Injuries: Constant bending, lifting, and twisting can result in musculoskeletal disorders over time.
Vehicle Accidents: Driving between job sites increases the risk of auto-related injuries for your crew.
These risks make workers compensation insurance not just a legal requirement in most states—but a vital safety net for your plumbing business.
