Free Dewatering Subcontractor
Service Agreement
A single pump failure turns your profit into a swamp and leaves you liable for a collapsed foundation. If you don't define who's watching the gauges at 3 AM, you're the one paying for the disaster.
Pro Contractor Tip
Force a 'Standby Rate' clause into the deal so you still get paid when the GC's delays leave your expensive rigs sitting idle in the mud.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Dewatering Subcontractor, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if the GC's guys mess with my pump settings and flood the site?
Specify a 'Sole Control' boundary in your agreement so if anyone else touches the gear, they own the liability for the resulting flood.
Who foots the bill for the diesel when these pumps run for three weeks straight?
List fuel as a 'reimbursable expense' or a GC-provided utility in the contract so you aren't eating five figures in fuel costs while they stall.
The soil report was a lie and I need twice the pumps; how do I get paid?
Include a 'Differing Site Conditions' provision to trigger an immediate price adjustment the second the ground doesn't match the bid documents.
