Frequently Asked Questions about Swimming Pool Contractor Insurance

Can swimming pool contractor insurance cover accidental property damage?

General liability insurance may respond to certain covered claims involving accidental damage to a customer’s home, yard, utilities, or surrounding property. Coverage depends on the circumstances and policy terms.

Does insurance cover problems discovered after a pool is completed?

Products-completed operations coverage may respond to certain covered claims arising after construction is finished. It should not be assumed to cover faulty workmanship, routine repairs, contractual guarantees, or replacing defective work.

Are excavation and underground utility risks covered?

Coverage for excavation, earth movement, collapse, or damage to underground utilities may be limited or excluded. Texas pool contractors should describe their excavation work and utility-location procedures when requesting coverage.

Are subcontractors covered under a pool contractor’s policy?

Subcontractors are not necessarily covered automatically. Pool contractors should review written agreements, certificates of insurance, additional insured requirements, and subcontractor exclusions.

Can pool construction tools and equipment be insured?

Coverage may be available for eligible excavators, concrete equipment, pumps, tools, and other machinery stored at a shop, transported between locations, or used at jobsites.
