Flood Restoration Companies NEED Specialized Insurance!



Flooding is one of the most destructive forces in nature, and when it strikes, flood restoration companies are often the first responders. From water extraction to structural drying, mold remediation, and everything in between, your business plays a crucial role in helping homeowners and businesses recover. But with the risks associated with flood restoration—property damage, equipment loss, injury risks, and business disruptions—it’s essential to have the right insurance coverage in place. That’s where ARI Brokers comes in. We specialize in providing tailored insurance solutions to protect your flood restoration business, so you can focus on what you do best: restoring properties and helping people get back on their feet.


The Risks of Flood Restoration

Flood restoration is a high-stakes business. You’re dealing with wet, damaged environments that can cause immediate harm and lead to long-term problems if not addressed quickly. Here are just a few of the risks your business faces every day:

  • Property Damage: Water damage can strike your own business, leaving your office or storage facilities at risk. Additionally, you may face property damage claims from clients if restoration work causes further damage.

  • Equipment Damage or Loss: Your company relies on expensive equipment such as pumps, dehumidifiers, and air scrubbers. These tools are essential to flood restoration, but if damaged or stolen, they can disrupt your operations.

  • Liability Issues: Flood restoration involves working in hazardous environments. You may encounter situations where property is further damaged or where injury occurs. If something goes wrong, you need protection from costly liability claims.

  • Business Interruption: Whether due to severe weather affecting your own operations or a sudden decrease in demand during certain seasons, interruptions in business can impact cash flow and profitability.

With so much at stake, having the right insurance is not just an option—it’s a necessity for flood restoration companies.


How ARI Brokers Protects Your Flood Restoration Business

At ARI Brokers, we understand the unique challenges of the flood restoration industry. We offer customized insurance solutions to address your specific risks, ensuring that your business is fully covered and prepared for whatever comes your way. Here's how we can help:


1. General Liability Insurance

Flood restoration often involves working on properties with water-damaged floors, walls, and electrical systems. If something goes wrong and your work causes additional property damage or injury, general liability insurance provides protection. This coverage ensures that your business is shielded from costly legal fees and repair bills if an accident occurs during the restoration process.


2. Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions) Insurance

Flood restoration projects are complex, and mistakes can happen—whether it's an error in drying techniques or improper water extraction that leads to mold growth. Professional liability insurance, also known as errors and omissions (E&O), protects your company from claims of negligence, inadequate work, or failure to meet expectations.


3. Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Restoration technicians are often exposed to hazardous conditions, such as mold, contaminated water, or even electrical hazards. Workers' compensation insurance is essential for covering medical expenses and lost wages if an employee is injured on the job. It helps protect your team and ensures compliance with state laws regarding worker safety.


4. Property & Equipment Insurance

Flood restoration companies rely on high-value equipment to perform their jobs—pumps, water extractors, industrial dehumidifiers, and more. If any of these tools are damaged, lost, or stolen, property and equipment insurance ensures that you can replace them quickly without a major financial setback. This coverage also extends to your office space, ensuring that your business continues to operate even if disaster strikes.


5. Flood Insurance

It may sound counterintuitive, but even though you’re in the business of flood restoration, your company still faces flood-related risks. Flood insurance protects your business from water damage caused by severe weather events or flooding that affects your property. This coverage can help protect both your office space and your business operations.


6. Business Interruption Insurance

If your business is forced to shut down temporarily—whether due to a natural disaster or a slow season—business interruption insurance can help cover lost income and ongoing expenses. This coverage ensures you can continue to pay your bills, employees, and other obligations even if your revenue drops due to unforeseen events.


7. Pollution & Environmental Liability Insurance

Flood restoration often involves dealing with contaminated water, hazardous chemicals, and mold remediation. Pollution and environmental liability insurance protect your business if you’re accused of causing environmental damage during the restoration process. This could include contamination from improper disposal of hazardous materials or mold spores spreading during cleanup.
