Free Drain Cleaning Service
Service Agreement
One snapped cable in a collapsed line will eat your week's profit, and without a contract, you're buying the customer a new yard. Don't let a 'quick clear' turn into a six-figure lawsuit because you didn't document the state of their rotting clay pipes.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert a 'Pre-existing Conditions' clause to ensure you aren't held liable for pipes that were already compromised or corroded before you touched the job.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Drain Cleaning Service, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do if the customer expects me to fix a leaky faucet while I'm there to clear the main?
Scope creep kills your margins; use your contract to define 'drain cleaning' as the only task and explain that any plumbing repairs require a separate, signed work order at your full hourly rate.
How do I handle it when a customer refuses to pay because the roots grew back two weeks later?
Your agreement needs to state that you're paid for the service of clearing the line, not a permanent guarantee against nature, which shifts the burden of maintenance back onto the property owner's wallet.
The client wants me to start work before I've even finished the paperwork—is that a problem?
If the snake gets stuck or the pipe bursts before that signature is dry, you're the one footing the bill; never drop a head into a cleanout until the contract is signed and the deposit is confirmed.
