Free Septic Tank Servicer
Service Agreement
One tank collapse or a 'property damage' lawsuit will drain your bank account faster than a blown main. Without a solid contract, you're one stubborn homeowner away from paying for a new leach field out of your own pocket.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Hidden Obstructions' clause so you aren't footing the bill when your equipment hits unmapped concrete, rebar, or buried junk.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Septic Tank Servicer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The homeowner says my truck cracked their driveway—am I on the hook?
Not if your contract has a 'Site Access and Damage' disclaimer. You need to put it in writing that heavy equipment carries risks to surfaces, otherwise, you're buying them a new driveway just for doing your job.
I found a cracked tank and a collapsed pipe mid-job; do I have to fix it for the quote?
Only if you're a glutton for punishment. A 'Discovered Conditions' clause allows you to stop work and renegotiate the price the moment you find a problem that wasn't visible from the surface.
The client is ghosting the bill because they claim it 'still smells' near the tank.
Sewage stinks, and your contract should state that 'Environmental Residuals' like temporary odors are part of the process. Having this in your scope of work prevents clients from using basic biology as an excuse to hold your paycheck hostage.
