Business insurance

Insurance for Vacuum Excavation Specialists

Vacuum excavation puts you right next to live gas, power and water, so the risk profile is real. Public liability is essential for striking or damaging a service or a third party, and mobile plant and machinery cover protects the truck itself — your most valuable asset. Add motor cover for the rig on the road, marine or transit cover for gear, and workers' compensation once you have operators on the books. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover and the value insured on the truck before the new financial year so you are not underinsured on a unit that has gone up in price.

Common questions

Vacuum Excavation Specialists — insurance questions

Does public liability cover hitting a service I was asked to expose?

It can, but cover varies and exclusions matter. Because striking gas or fibre can cause significant loss, make sure your policy reflects the non-destructive work you actually do and the assets you operate around. Always confirm the detail with your broker.

Is my vac truck covered as plant or as a vehicle?

Often both — registered motor cover for use on the road and mobile plant cover for the suction unit and its operation on site. Make sure the insured value keeps pace with what the truck would actually cost to replace today.
