with better questions.
These are areas to explore with a licensed provider. The exact cover, exclusions, limits, and availability depend on your circumstances.
Contractor liability
Discuss installation, servicing, excavation, and damage to third-party property.
Pollution exposures
Ask about environmental exclusions and whether dedicated cover is appropriate.
Equipment & vehicles
Review excavation machinery, pump trucks, tools, and equipment hired from others.
The pollution exclusion.
A service visit leads to an allegation of groundwater contamination. The contractor needs to understand the policy’s pollution terms before relying on general liability.

Good questions.
Worth asking.
Does contractor liability address pollution clean-up?
Ask specifically. Pollution exclusions, extensions and dedicated products vary. Describe waste handling and realistic spill scenarios to a specialist.
Are tanker trucks part of equipment insurance?
Road use and vehicle classification need separate review. Give the provider fleet and equipment details and ask which policy addresses each use.
Should pumping and installation both be declared?
Yes. Describe every service, including inspections, hauling and subcontracted work, so the accepted business description matches operations.
