Free Sewer Line Repair
Service Agreement
One bad dig into an unmarked main will drain your bank account and seize your equipment before the sun sets. Without a rock-solid contract, you’re just one 'unforeseen obstacle' away from a lawsuit that liquidates your entire business.
Pro Contractor Tip
Always include a 'Concealed Conditions' clause to ensure you get paid extra the second your shovel hits unexpected rock, roots, or abandoned utilities.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Sewer Line Repair, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The customer wants me to 'just take a look' at another leak while the trench is open; how do I handle this without losing my shirt?
Stop the shovel. Use your contract's Change Order clause to document the new work and the new price; if they don't sign the update, you don't touch the pipe.
What happens if I find a massive boulder blocking the path that wasn't in the estimate?
Your agreement should define 'Normal Soil Conditions.' This allows you to pause work and renegotiate the rate for specialized equipment or extra labor the moment the ground changes.
The homeowner is withholding the final 20% because the grass hasn't grown back yet. What's the move?
Your contract must separate 'Functional Completion' from 'Landscaping.' Explicitly state that final payment is triggered by a passed municipal inspection, not the aesthetic state of their lawn.
