Fire & Water Restoration Contractors

Market Detail: Fire and water restoration contractors work on locations that have experienced natural or accidental disasters. These disasters may be small, such as a burst pipe, or bigger problems like fires, smoke damage, storm damage, damage from heavy rains, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, even tsunamis. They can be devastating for the businesses that have to be restored; however, if a restoration contractor exacerbates or creates an adverse environmental condition during restoration activities, their client, and their own business, may never recover.

Available coverages include: contractors’ pollution liability, E&O, site pollution liability, auto, workers comp, and excess.

Environmental concerns for fire/water restoration contractors: Examination of the area, cleanup of the area, bringing in heavy equipment if needed, and cleanup/removal of trash.

Security during examination of the area: because they often don’t know what they may encounter, fire-water restoration contractors have to secure their work areas and make sure that third parties do not enter the work area where they may be exposed to hazardous materials.

Cleanup of areas: fire-water restoration contractors often have to clean possessions on and off-site. Often, these possessions may have been affected by chemicals on-site, or when water intrusion has occurred, mold can appear. Mold may become airborne and affect contractor employees or third parties.

Bringing in heavy equipment when needed: spills may occur from tanks containing fuel for heavy equipment, or exhaust fumes from equipment may be generated. Hazardous and non-hazardous materials may spill during loading/unloading activities.

Transporting waste or materials to or from a job site: Spills may occur while chemicals or equipment are being transported to or from the job site, or during loading/unloading. Spills may occur while waste, debris, etc., are being transported from the job site to a disposal site.

Disposal of waste at non-owned facilities: Restoration debris may be inadvertently mixed with hazardous waste and then disposed of improperly, causing contamination conditions at the landfill or disposal facility. Improper disposal of air conditioning and refrigeration units, which could result in fines, penalties, or claims against restoration entities. Improper disposal of asbestos, lead, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) containing components, which are regulated and should be handled as hazardous waste.

Insured’s owned premises: Materials that are being cleaned off-site may contain hazardous materials and could spill at the restoration contractor’s premises. Contamination at owned premises could be caused by cleaning/maintenance chemicals or storage of heavy equipment, mobile equipment, or vehicles. Storage of paints, chemicals, solvents, etc. at owned premises. ASTs used for waste oil, hydraulic fluids, or fuel. USTs used for refueling vehicles or heating oil.
