What does Water Well Drilling Business Insurance Cover?

• Contractor General Liability Insurance

  • A well drilling business faces liability risks every time they begin moving earth on a construction site. Some of these risks include unforeseen sub-surface conditions, hitting underground utilities, soil compaction, and grading property for water runoff.  

  • Well Drilling Contractor Liability Insurance covers losses associated with property damage and bodily injury you cause to a third party while you are in the course of construction. 

• Contractor Equipment Insurance or Inland Marine Insurance

  • As a construction company, your business has heavy expensive equipment. Insuring that equipment properly is important. Here are some examples of the risks that your well drilling business faces: trench collapses and equipment falls into trench, theft, and vandalism to equipment. 

  • Since Well Drilling companies are digging, this requires the operation of heavy equipment. Ensuring you have heavy equipment operators insurance is vital to preventing uninsured construction insurance claims. 

• Workers Compensation Insurance

  • If you have employees you will need to carry workers compensation insurance. This policy covers work-related injuries/illnesses that your employees may sustain during their employment. Finding the right work comp for water well drilling business is important. ​

  • Even if your construction workers are paid 1099, you may need to insure them on a workers compensation policy. 

• Commercial Auto Insurance

  • Most well drilling contractors use dump trucks, drilling trucks, tractors, and trucks during the course of construction. Insuring your trucks on a commercial auto insurance policy will protect your business ​from auto related claims. 

• Bonds

  • License and permit bonds. If you are working on public jobs, you may need a license and permit bond prior to working. 

  • Payment and Performance bonds. General Contractors and property owners may require a performance bond prior to starting a job.
