What types of insurance does a pressure washing business need?

Pressure washing involves high-powered equipment, chemicals, and working on client property. The core coverages include: 

  • General Liability – Protects against property damage, such as cracked siding, dented vehicles, or water damage caused during a job. 
  • Workers’ Compensation – Required in most states if you hire staff; covers injuries like slips, high-pressure spray accidents, or chemical burns. 
  • Equipment Coverage – Protects mobile equipment from theft, fire, or accidental damage in transit.
