Free Sump Pump Installer
Service Agreement
One faulty valve or a missed 'handshake' detail will leave you on the hook for a $50,000 finished basement restoration. Without a rock-solid contract, you're one heavy rainstorm away from a lawsuit that'll seize your truck and empty your retirement.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Pre-existing Conditions' clause to protect yourself from being blamed for foundation cracks or mold that were there long before you touched the shovel.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Sump Pump Installer, "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 I hit a boulder or buried utility line while digging the pit?
Practical business means having a 'Concealed Conditions' clause; if the ground is harder than expected, the price goes up, and your contract ensures the client knows they’re paying for the extra labor.
The client wants me to fix their leaky laundry sink since I'm already in the basement.
Scope creep kills your profit; use your written agreement to define exactly what is covered and use a signed Change Order for any 'extra' favors to ensure you get paid for every minute.
How do I stop a client from holding my final payment because of a 'messy' yard?
Define 'Substantial Completion' in your contract so that once the pump is operational and the site is swept, the check is due—don't let minor landscaping issues hold your hard-earned cash hostage.
