For plumbers

Our insurance program can hold water

Leaky pipes. Clogged drains. Loose joints. You handle emergencies like these every single day. Because you’re so busy solving other people’s problems, perhaps you’re unprepared for mishaps of your own. Harleysville can help. We know the plumbing business and the special risks that come with the trade. We took that knowledge, then pulled out all the stops to create our Plumbers Advantage Insurance Program.

If you’d like to learn more about this special program, contact an agent in your area. Or, get in touch with our office nearest you.

Coverage that meets your specs

Over and above the solid coverage we provide for your buildings, equipment, tools and supplies on premises, our program includes coverage of up to $25,000 for items that wait on someone else’s property for you to install.

We insure fixtures, appliances and building materials you own—and those in your care—against theft and most types of loss at your work locations and during transport. Coverage extends to your tools and mobile equipment, subject to limitations in some states.

To help you maintain good customer relations—and keep you out of court—we insure damage (up to $5,000 per incident and $25,000 per policy term) you accidentally cause off-premises to property left in your care, regardless of fault.

If your business enjoys seasonal peak periods, coverage on your inventory automatically increases 25 percent during your busier times with the simple provision that you insure to 100 percent of your average monthly values.

What’s more, your aggregate limit—which typically caps your insurance payout for an entire policy term—applies separately to each of your projects off premises

We’ve only highlighted some of the main features of our insurance program. There are lots more, like:

  • Business income/extra expense We’ll cover your loss of income (up to $25,000) if your business activity is interrupted by insured damage on premises.
  • Hired and non-owned auto We cover you for injury or damage caused by your employees while driving their vehicles for business purposes.
  • Medical payments Medical expenses are covered for any person (other than officers and employees) who requires treatment because of an injury related to your business.
  • Premises boundary The usual 500-foot boundary limitation has been extended to cover your plumbing supplies within 1,000 feet of your building.
  • Rental cost reimbursement on contractors equipment We will reimburse you up to $500 a day ($5,000 maximum) for the cost of renting substitute equipment if yours cannot be used due to a covered loss.
  • Computer coverage We’ve added special coverage to protect your hardware and software—on and off premises.
  • Property of others You’re covered for up to $5,000 on premises for personal property of others left in your care.

Optional coverages for your business

Harleysville offers an array of options to complement your fundamental program, including but not limited to:

  • Surety bonds Our surety division—treasury listed for over $30 million—can provide you with performance, payment, maintenance, supply and miscellaneous bonds to meet your special needs.
  • Agreed value or replacement cost coverage for your buildings and most property items.
  • Employee dishonesty With your choice of limits per occurrence.
  • Systems breakdown For heating, air conditioning and electrical systems used to maintain your business.
  • Group coverages Group term life and short-term or long-term disability coverage is available to protect—and help you retain—your employees. The cost is surprisingly low.
  • Business continuation This coverage integrates a funded buy/sell agreement into your plan, protecting the interest of the owners and the future of your operations.
  • Employment practices liability This coverage protects you against loss resulting from a wide range of employee lawsuits, including discrimination, sexual harassment and wrongful termination.
  • Employee benefits liability coverage To protect you against errors and omissions in administering your employee plans.
  • Low-cost fidelity bond If you provide a qualified pension plan, this is the ideal way to meet your legal requirements (ERISA) to protect plan participants against theft of funds.
  • Workers compensation Yes, this absolutely essential coverage is available for your business. Ask your agent for details.

Life insurance to protect you and your business

We can also handle all of your business life insurance needs. Some examples include:

  • Key employee coverage Designed to protect your business upon the loss of a key employee. Funds can be used to find, hire and train a replacement, as well as compensate for lost business during the transaction.
  • Simplified pension plans Owners of small businesses can turn to either a SEP-IRA or a Simple IRA to get the benefits of a qualified pension plan without the higher administrative costs and paperwork hassles.
  • Debt protection This coverage can secure the funds needed to pay off your company’s debt upon the death of an owner, helping your business continue as a viable entity during this difficult time.
  • Non-qualified executive plans Your business may want to reward key people in the organization with such executive plans as deferred compensation, executive bonus and split dollar coverage. Each plan rewards the executive while tying them more closely to the continued success of your business.
