Concrete Contractors Insurance FAQs
Does Concrete GL cover a slab that cracks from Texas clay soil movement?
GL does not pay to re-pour defective concrete ('your work'), though it defends third-party claims if faulty foundation work damages framing or finishes above it.
Are concrete pump trucks covered under Commercial Auto or Inland Marine?
Truck-mounted concrete pumps require Commercial Auto for road liability while stationary boom/pump equipment is often scheduled on Inland Marine.
Why is XCU coverage critical for Texas foundation contractors?
Pier drilling and trenching carry high risk of hitting buried gas or fiber lines; XCU ensures underground property damage isn't excluded.
What minimum Auto limit do heavy concrete trucks need in Texas?
Trucks >26,000 lbs GVW in Texas intrastate commerce require at least $500,000 CSL ($750,000+ for interstate), and GCs usually require $1,000,000 CSL.
