Free Leak Detection Specialist
Service Agreement
One missed pinhole behind a structural beam will rot a client's foundation and drown you in a six-figure negligence suit. If you don't have a signed paper trail, you're not a specialist—you're a sacrificial lamb for their insurance company.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Right to Physical Access' clause that absolves you of any liability for drywall, flooring, or masonry damage required to reach the suspected leak site.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Leak Detection Specialist, "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 the client refuses to pay because the leak is in a different spot than my tech predicted?
Leak detection is an art of probability, not magic; your contract needs to state you're being paid for the diagnostic process and time, not a 100% guarantee of subsurface perfection, to ensure you get your check even when the pipes play games.
The customer wants me to 'take a quick look' at their pool while I'm doing the slab. Should I?
Scope creep is a profit killer, so unless you want to work for free, point to your written agreement and tell them any system not listed—like pools or irrigation—requires a paid change order before you even touch a sensor.
How do I stop people from blaming me for the water damage that happened before I even arrived?
You protect your neck by including a 'Pre-existing Conditions' section in your agreement that clearly states your arrival time and notes that you are not liable for any rot, mold, or structural failure that started before you pulled into the driveway.
