Free Leach Field Repair
Service Agreement
One bad dig into a collapsed line and you're drowning in raw sewage and a six-figure lawsuit. Without a solid contract, you're eating the cost of the gravel and the excavator rental while the homeowner holds your paycheck hostage over a patch of dead grass.
Pro Contractor Tip
Always include an 'Unforeseen Underground Conditions' clause to protect your wallet when you hit a rock shelf or buried trash that wasn't on the site plan.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Leach Field Repair, "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 homeowner keeps asking for 'just one more quick fix' while the pit is open?
You stop the machine and point to the Scope of Work in your agreement; anything not on that list requires a signed Change Order with a new price tag before you move another shovelful of dirt.
The customer wants to wait for a 'successful' system test before paying the final 20%—is that standard?
Absolutely not; your contract should define 'completion' as the final inspector's sign-off, ensuring you get paid for the work performed rather than waiting on the biology of a septic tank you didn't build.
Am I liable if the whole system fails again six months from now because they didn't pump their tank?
Only if you're dumb enough to leave out a 'Proper Maintenance' disclaimer that voids your workmanship warranty if the owner fails to provide proof of regular septic pumping and filter cleaning.
