FAQs — Plumbing Insurance Tampa FL
Frequently Asked Questions
Does GL cover water damage claims from plumbing work?
Yes — GL covers third-party property damage including water damage caused by your plumbing operations or materials. Post-completion leaks are covered under completed operations, which is standard in properly written plumbing contractor GL policies.
What workers' comp class code applies to plumbers?
Plumbing work typically falls under NCCI class code 5183 (plumbing, heating, and refrigeration). FishHawk Insurance Center correctly applies class codes and reviews payroll allocation if you have multiple types of workers.
What bond do I need for my Florida CFC license?
Florida Certified Plumbing Contractors need a CILB surety bond. Local authorities in Hillsborough County and City of Tampa may require additional bonds. FishHawk Insurance Center identifies your exact requirements and handles all bond types efficiently.
Do I need separate coverage for tools and equipment?
Yes. GL and commercial auto don’t cover your tools and equipment at job sites. An inland marine/tools floater covers your equipment wherever it goes. For expensive equipment like pipe cameras or hydro-jets, scheduled coverage is recommended.
