Pressure washing—also called power washing—is an essential maintenance service for buildings, vehicles, and industrial sites. Yet, it also carries serious liability risks: high-pressure water, chemical detergents, and environmental runoff can easily lead to costly claims. That’s why business insurance for pressure washing is not optional—it’s a contractual necessity for every contractor, property owner, and facilities manager.

🔍 Why Pressure Washing Requires Specialized Business Insurance
Pressure-washing activities create exposures that standard policies often exclude, such as:
- Property damage from high-pressure jets cracking glass, stripping paint, or flooding interiors.
- Slip-and-fall injuries to employees or the public from wet surfaces.
- Chemical overspray or wastewater pollution entering drains or soil.
- Equipment and vehicle accidents during mobile cleaning operations.
Without tailored coverage, a single incident can halt operations or lead to litigation.
