Free Well Driller
Service Agreement
Hitting a dry hole without a signed 'no-water' disclaimer will leave you holding a six-figure bill for fuel and bits while the client laughs you off the property. One busted hydraulic line or an unmapped utility strike can turn your profitable week into a bankruptcy hearing if your paperwork isn't airtight.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Subsurface Conditions' clause that shifts the financial risk of encountering rock, boulders, or abandoned equipment directly onto the customer.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Well Driller, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I drill 500 feet and the hole is bone dry?
You get paid for the footage, not the water. Your contract must explicitly state you are selling a 'hole in the ground' service; having this in writing prevents the client from withholding payment just because Mother Nature didn't cooperate.
The client wants to move the rig 20 feet over after I've already leveled the jacks. Who pays for that?
They do, but only if you have a 'Remobilization Fee' in your agreement. Use a written Change Order to document the request and the extra cost before you even think about cranking the engine back up.
How do I handle it when the client says the water looks 'muddy' and refuses the final check?
Stop the argument before it starts by defining 'Completion' as reaching the target depth and installing the casing, not the water quality. A clear contract separates the drilling mechanics from the aquifer's chemistry so you aren't held hostage by a silt pocket you didn't create.
