Laundromat Insurance
Paying Too Much for Laundromat Insurance?
One call connects you with a specialty broker who knows the coin laundry and dry-cleaning industry inside and out.
Laundromat insurance is what we do
A laundromat carries risks that most commercial insurers have never had to think through. The wrong policy leaves you paying for coverage that does not actually protect you.
We know which insurers understand laundromat operations and how they typically approach this risk. That knowledge helps us find competitive pricing and coverage designed for the exposures your business faces.
How Much Does Laundromat Insurance Cost?
Laundromat insurance costs depend on your facility size, location, equipment value, number of employees, and the services you offer. Our Laundromat Success Program was designed around the specific risks of coin laundry and dry cleaning operations. We compare rates across the market to find coverage that fits both your business and your budget.
Build Out Coverage
to insure tenant improvements and construction costs in your leased space
Non-Owned Auto Coverage
to protect your business when a team member uses their own vehicle for work
Umbrella Protection
to raise your liability limits beyond what your primary policy provides
Equipment Coverage
for washers, dryers, card systems, and vending machines
Workers' Compensation Coverage
to cover workplace injury costs and any related legal claims
Care, Custody, and Control Coverage
for customer clothing and belongings left in your possession
Catch Problems Before They Become Claims
Protect Your Machines and Your Revenue

Coin Laundry Insurance for Operations Nationwide
Brooks-Waterburn writes laundromat business insurance for operations of every size across every state. From a single location in New York to a growing coin laundry chain in California, Florida, or Texas, we compare rates from insurers who price this risk correctly.
Most owners do not realize what their laundromat insurance is missing until a claim exposes it. Property damage, liability judgments, and equipment failures test every line of a policy. We review your coverage, identify what is missing, and recommend coverage based on your operation and risk profile.
Dry Cleaner Insurance Specific to Your Trade
Dry cleaning businesses carry different risks than a coin laundry. Chemical exposure liability, garment damage claims, and specialized equipment create exposures that most commercial policies do not account for. We source dry cleaner insurance from carriers who treat it as a specialty, not an add-on.
Laundromat owners and dry cleaning operators across the country trust Brooks-Waterburn to get their coverage right. Call us and find out what your rate looks like.
What Our Customers Say:
Closed for Repairs. Open for Bills.
A covered loss like a dryer fire, a burst pipe, or a major equipment failure can force your facility to close for days or weeks. Depending on the policy, property coverage may pay for covered physical damage but may not include business income protection unless that coverage has been added.
FAQs
We’ve gathered the most common questions from laundromat owners below. If you don't see the answer you need, call us at (516) 997-9800; we’re here to help.
Most laundromats need general liability, commercial property, equipment breakdown, workers' compensation, and care, custody, and control coverage. The right combination depends on whether you own or lease your space, whether you employ staff, and whether you offer drop-off laundry or dry cleaning services in addition to self-serve coin laundry.
Laundromat insurance cost varies based on your location, the size and age of your equipment, your payroll, and how your facility is operated. A specialty broker can often structure your coverage more efficiently than a general policy, so requesting a quote is the best way to see what you'll actually pay.
A standard business owners' policy typically leaves equipment breakdown uncovered. You need a separate endorsement or a program that includes it as a base feature. Brooks-Waterburn incorporates equipment breakdown into your laundromat coverage, so critical systems are protected when they fail.
Care, custody, and control coverage protects you when a customer's property is damaged while under your responsibility. This matters for any service where items are left with your staff, including wash-and-fold and dry cleaning.
Yes. General liability is included in every program we build and covers your business if a customer is injured on your premises. Laundromats see consistent foot traffic throughout the day in a wet environment, which makes this one of the most critical parts of any laundromat insurance policy.
Brooks-Waterburn is licensed to write coin laundry and laundromat business insurance in every state in the country. Whether you have one location or a chain across different markets, we place and manage coverage for your entire operation.
If you have employees, most states require it by law. Even where it is technically optional for smaller operations, workers' compensation covers those costs directly and keeps a workplace injury from becoming a financial crisis for your business.
