Frequently asked questions about business insurance

Here are some of the most common questions we get about carpet cleaning insurance. If you don’t find the answers you need here, our licensed, U.S.-based insurance advisors are standing by to help via online chat or phone.

How does business insurance protect carpet cleaners?

Our carpet cleaning insurance packages are designed to protect your business from a variety of risks and help you save money to grow your business. You’ll be protected from financial losses related to:

Damage to someone’s property

Your carpet shampooer gets caught on the edge of a rug, causing it to rip. The general liability coverage in your insurance package would help pay for a replacement.

Accidents that hurt someone

A client trips over the power cord to your carpet cleaning equipment and gets hurt. Your general liability coverage would also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.

Professional mistakes

A carpet is stained after an employee forgets to rinse it after washing it. E&O coverage helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money.

Workplace injuries

You strain your back while carrying equipment up a flight of stairs. Workers’ compensation coverage with business owner’s coverage can help cover medical bills and lost wages. Workers’ comp is usually required by law if you have employees.

Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles

An employee causes damage to a parked car while driving on icy roads. Commercial auto coverage will help pay for the repairs. This coverage is also usually required by law for business-owned vehicles.

Theft or damage to your tools

The electricity shorts out at a work site, and your shampooer won’t restart. The tools and equipment insurance that is optional with your general liability coverage can help pay for replacement and repair costs.

Damage to your own property

A plumbing issue causes significant water damage in your office. Commercial property insurance can help with replacement or repair costs if your owned or leased property is damaged due to a covered event, such as a burst water pipe, fire, tornado or vandalism.
