Business insurance

Insurance for Blocked Drain Specialists

Working in homes, under buildings and around sewer and stormwater systems carries real risk, so public liability is essential for drain specialists. With a typical premium near $1,600 a year, cover usually also extends to your jetter and CCTV equipment, the ute and tools, and your work itself if a repair fails.

Many policies renew around 30 June, so it is worth reviewing limits before the wet-season call-out load builds. Cockatoo helps you find an insurance partner who understands high-pressure equipment, property damage exposure and the after-hours nature of emergency drainage work.

Common questions

Blocked Drain Specialists — insurance questions

What cover does a blocked drain business need?

Public liability is the core, plus equipment and tool cover for the jetter and CCTV rig, vehicle insurance, and workers' compensation if you employ. Cover for property damage during a clearance is also worth checking.

Does emergency work change my insurance needs?

It can. After-hours call-outs and working around live sewer and stormwater systems raise exposure, so reviewing limits near a 30 June renewal helps ensure your liability and equipment cover match the work you actually do.
