Coverage Tips for Code 99952

• Ensure your policy includes coverage for damage to property in your care, custody, or control, as waterproofing often involves working directly on client structures.
• Verify that your general liability policy explicitly covers completed operations, as water intrusion claims can emerge long after the waterproofing project is finished.
• Maintain meticulous records of all materials used, application methods, and project specifications to defend against potential claims of faulty workmanship.
• If utilizing subcontractors, always require them to carry their own general liability insurance and name your business as an additional insured to prevent coverage gaps.
