When it comes to drainage, contractors need to be careful that they don’t cause damage to the system itself. In some cases, there may be allegations of damage to the system, which you may not be able to prove wasn’t you. Our insurance policy protects contractors against these claims, as well as any injuries sustained by clients or your employees, which may result in a legal claim being made against you.
Working on drains requires specialist tools and can be risky business, with the potential to accidentally damage the drainage system – or unsuspecting members of the public. Having the right insurance is crucial to protect your tools against damage or theft, while also covering you for any financial loss for accidental damage. This includes cover for excavation, confined space work, and any pure financial losses.
