What our customers are saying
"Raynaldo made quick work of things. I told him what I needed, and ultimately I had a certificate of insurance in a matter of hours. Up to that point, I had spent hours going in circles with others."

Why do plumbers need insurance?

As a commercial or residential plumbing professional, every new project introduces potential liability. An employee could sustain an injury while soldering pipes, or a customer could sue over water damage. Plumber insurance covers medical bills, lawsuits, and other expenses that might otherwise place a tremendous burden on your business.
