Coverages

Coverage built around how inspectors actually get sued.

Plain-English protection, matched to your real exposures.

Primary coverage

Professional Liability / E&O

Errors & Omissions (E&O) and Professional Liability generally mean the same thing in this context. This coverage is designed to help respond to covered claims alleging an error, omission, or negligence in the inspection itself — for example, an allegation that a defect or condition was missed or not properly reported. It’s the coverage most inspectors need most, subject to policy terms.

Secondary coverage

General Liability

GL is different from E&O. It’s built for eligible third-party bodily injury and property damage claims arising from your business operations — a client trips during a walkthrough, or something gets damaged on-site. GL does not respond to allegations about the accuracy of your inspection findings; that’s what Professional Liability / E&O is for.

How GL works →

Coverage descriptions are general summaries. Actual coverage is governed by the policy issued and is subject to underwriting, terms, conditions, exclusions, and carrier availability.

FAQ

Questions inspectors ask us

Is E&O insurance the same as Professional Liability insurance?+

For property and home inspectors, yes — Errors & Omissions (E&O) and Professional Liability generally refer to the same type of coverage. Both describe protection designed to help respond to certain covered claims alleging errors, omissions, or negligence in your professional inspection services. You don’t need to buy two separate products; when we say “Professional Liability / E&O,” we mean one coverage.

What’s the difference between E&O and General Liability for inspectors?+

Professional Liability / E&O is designed to help with covered claims about the inspection itself — for example, an allegation that a defect was missed or misreported. General Liability is designed for eligible third-party bodily injury or property damage claims connected to your business operations, like a client tripping during a walkthrough. GL generally does not respond to claims about the accuracy of your inspection report; that’s what Professional Liability / E&O is for.

What kind of claim does E&O typically involve for a home inspector?+

A common scenario is a buyer alleging that an inspector failed to identify or properly report a condition that was later discovered, and that this affected their decision to purchase or the price they paid. Professional Liability / E&O is designed to help respond to certain covered claims of this type, subject to the policy’s terms, conditions, and exclusions.

Do you cover commercial property inspectors and property condition assessments?+

We work with private-sector commercial property inspectors performing property condition assessments for lenders and investors. Coverage stays within general property/building inspection services and does not extend to engineering opinions, structural engineering, or specialized services outside a typical inspection scope.

How fast can I get a quote?+

Fill out the short form on this site and our licensed agents typically build your custom quote the same business day. We prepare it based on the information you submit — you’re not filling out a lengthy application.

What information do you need to quote me?+

Just your business name, address, and contact information to start. Our licensed agents follow up to gather anything else needed to prepare your quote.

Do you insure solo inspectors or only larger firms?+

Both. Whether you’re a single-inspector operation or a growing firm with multiple inspectors on staff, we work with carriers suited to your size.

Can I get a certificate of insurance (COI) for a client, lender, or real estate agent?+

Yes. Once you’re bound, we can help you get a certificate of insurance to whoever needs proof of coverage. See our COI page for details.

Do you write coverage in my state?+

Tell us your address on the quote form and we’ll confirm whether coverage is available for your business — eligibility and options vary by state.

Why use Property Inspector Insurance instead of a general business insurance site?+

Property Inspector Insurance focuses specifically on home, property, and building inspection businesses, which means our quote process, our coverage explanations — including how Professional Liability / E&O and General Liability work together — and our agents’ conversations are all built around how inspection businesses actually operate, not retrofitted from a generic commercial policy.
