What Is Pressure Washing Business Insurance?

Pressure washing business insurance is a set of policies designed to help safeguard your business from financial loss if accidents, property damage, or injuries occur on the job.

It can address:

  • Property damage to client property caused by your work
  • Injuries to others
  • Damage or theft of your pressure washing equipment
  • Certain business interruptions or legal costs

Do I Need Insurance for a Pressure Washing Business?

If you work with the public, operate on client property, or use commercial-grade cleaning equipment, insurance is often recommended and may be required by clients, contracts, or local regulations.

Many commercial clients ask for proof of liability coverage before you can start work. In some states or cities, licensing requirements also include minimum insurance levels.

How Much Does Pressure Washing Business Insurance Cost?

Costs vary based on:

  • Business size and revenue
  • Type of jobs you take (residential, commercial, industrial)
  • Location and risk factors
  • Coverage limits and deductibles

On average, small pressure washing businesses might pay $500–$2,500 per year for general liability coverage.

💡 These figures are broad industry averages for general liability coverage. Your actual premium may be higher or lower depending on your insurer’s underwriting.
