Frequently Asked Questions
Standard GL policies contain a 'pollution exclusion' that can bar coverage for chemical-related claims. Environmental Liability Insurance fills this gap. For spray foam contractors who work with reactive chemicals daily, this exclusion is a significant exposure. We recommend all SPF contractors carry both GL and environmental liability.
Isocyanates (the A-side of SPF) are among the leading causes of occupational asthma. They're classified as potential carcinogens and are tightly regulated by OSHA and EPA. A single claim from a building occupant or worker alleging isocyanate-related illness can result in six-figure legal costs — exactly what environmental liability insurance is designed to cover.
Off-ratio foam (where the A and B components aren't properly mixed) can off-gas excessively and fail structurally. Environmental liability can cover third-party claims arising from off-ratio installations, including relocation costs, remediation, and property damage.
Coverage needs vary by project type and location. A minimum of $1M per occurrence is common, with $2M+ for commercial projects or work near sensitive environments. Some project owners and GCs require $5M or more for large commercial work.
In many cases, yes. Depending on the carrier, we can add pollution liability as an endorsement to your GL policy or as a separate standalone policy. We'll evaluate your operations and recommend the most cost-effective approach.
