THE PROBLEM

Plumbing Claims Move Fast and Get Expensive

Water damage spreads in minutes. Insurance disputes follow for months. A standard tradie policy is rarely built for what plumbers actually do.

Water-Damage Liability

One failed joint floods three apartments downstairs. Standard public liability often sub-limits consequential water damage, leaving you exposed to rectification costs running into six figures.

Gas-Fitting Exposure

Gas installations carry strict liability — leaks, explosions, carbon-monoxide claims. Generic policies frequently exclude gas work or apply sub-limits that don't reflect the risk.

Contract Compliance

Builders and strata managers require specific insurance wording — often $20M public liability, named completed-work cover, and clear hot-water/gas endorsements. Off-the-shelf cover rarely meets these requirements.

Plumbers need a specialist policy — written for plumbing risk, not adapted from a generic trades template.
