What Does Pressure Washing Insurance Cover?
Pressure washing can deliver powerful results — and sometimes powerful risks. Equipment damage, accidental property harm, and employee injuries can occur when you least expect them. We can help you choose the correct power washing insurance coverages to financially protect your business from messy mishaps such as these:
Damage to someone else’s property
You’re cleaning a client’s extra grimy vinyl siding when the pressure setting slips into high gear, cracking several wall panels. The homeowner demands you cover the repairs. A general liability policy can help pay for damages that may occur on the job.
Damaged or stolen equipment
Some days, it feels like more than dirt is getting washed away. After a lunch break, you return to your truck to find your pressure washer and hoses missing. An inland marine policy could help cover the cost to replace or repair stolen or damaged equipment on the go.
Care for sick or injured employees
Blasting off years of grime is never light work. Imagine an employee loses their footing on a slippery driveway and injures their wrist. Workers’ compensation insurance can help cover medical bills and lost wages as they recover.
This coverage is often legally required and protects your business from costly claims, while ensuring your crew gets the care they need. Even solo pressure washers should consider workers’ comp, as some health insurance plans won’t cover work-related injuries.
