Free Rainwater Harvesting System
Service Agreement
One bad seal on a thousand-gallon tank turns a backyard into a swamp and your bank account into a memory. Without a solid contract, you're the one paying for the mold remediation and the ruined foundation while the client ghosts your final invoice.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Differing Site Conditions' clause so you aren't eating the cost when your excavator hits an unmapped gas line or a granite shelf.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Rainwater Harvesting System, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The homeowner keeps asking for 'just one more' garden tap while I'm digging; how do I stop the bleeding?
You don't move a shovel for 'extras' without a signed Change Order that lists the new price; a written agreement turns 'favors' into billable hours and protects your margin.
I'm staring at five grand in hardware costs and the client hasn't paid a dime; what's the move?
Never drop a tank on-site until the 'Mobilization Fee' clears your bank; your contract should mandate a heavy upfront deposit to cover materials so you aren't acting as the client's interest-free loan.
The client is refusing final payment because the tank isn't filling up during a dry spell; how do I handle this?
Your contract needs to define 'Completion' as the hardware being installed to spec and passing a pressure test, not the sky falling; clarify that you're a contractor, not a rain god.
