Plumbing Services Agreement

This Plumbing Services Agreement (the "Agreement") is dated as of [Effective Date], by and between [Provider Name] (the "Provider") and [Client Name] (the "Client") (collectively, the "Parties"). The Parties agree as follows:

This is a general business document for plumbing repair and installation services in the United States and is not legal advice. Local requirements may vary.

Core terms

1. SERVICES:

1.1 Provider will perform plumbing repair and installation services for Client (the "Services"). 1.2 The Services may include inspection, diagnosis of plumbing issues, repair or replacement of fixtures or piping, and installation of new plumbing components as requested by Client. 1.3 Services are for a one-time job unless the Parties agree in writing to additional visits. 1.4 Provider will supply standard labor and basic tools. Unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing, Client will pay for all materials, fixtures, and special-order parts used in the Services. 1.5 Provider does not promise that existing plumbing systems or materials are fit for continued use. Provider may refuse to reuse old parts or materials if Provider believes they are unsafe or not compatible with the work. 1.6 If Provider discovers conditions that were not reasonably visible at the time of scheduling (such as hidden leaks, code issues, or structural problems), Provider will inform Client and may propose a change in price or scope before doing additional work. 1.7 The Parties may attach a written Service Schedule or work order describing specific tasks, locations, and materials. If attached, that Service Schedule becomes part of this Agreement.

This clause describes what plumbing work the Provider will do, what counts as part of the job, and how changes in scope are handled. It confirms this is a one-time service unless both sides agree to more work in writing, and allows the Provider to decline using unsafe or incompatible old parts.

2. FEES & PAYMENT:

2.1 Client will pay Provider at a rate of $85 per hour for labor, with a 2-hour minimum charge per visit. 2.2 Time is billed from the later of (a) Provider's arrival at the property, or (b) the scheduled start time, until Provider stops work, including reasonable time spent obtaining necessary parts with Client's consent. 2.3 Unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing, Client will pay for all materials, fixtures, permits, disposal fees, and any third-party costs in addition to labor. 2.4 Provider may request a deposit or pre-authorization for estimated labor and materials before starting work. If a deposit is taken, final charges will be adjusted to reflect actual time and materials. 2.5 Payment for all amounts due is owed at completion of the Services on the service date, unless the Parties agree in writing to different payment terms. 2.6 Provider may charge a late fee on unpaid balances that are more than 15 days past due. The late fee will not exceed a reasonable monthly percentage of the unpaid balance. Provider may also pause further work until all past-due amounts are paid. 2.7 Client will pay Provider using the payment methods Provider accepts, which may include cash, check, card, or electronic transfer, as communicated by Provider.

This clause sets the hourly rate, the 2-hour minimum, what counts as billable time, and who pays for parts and extra costs. It also explains when payment is due and that there may be late fees and pauses in service if bills are not paid.

3. SCHEDULE & CANCELLATIONS:

3.1 Provider and Client will agree on a service date and arrival window. Provider will make reasonable efforts to arrive during that window and will inform Client as soon as practical if Provider expects a material delay. 3.2 Client must give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment without a cancellation fee. 3.3 Client may cancel or reschedule by phone call, text message, or email to the contact information provided by Provider. A voicemail, text, or email timestamp will be used to confirm when notice was given. 3.4 If Client cancels or reschedules with less than 24 hours' notice, or if Provider cannot access the property at the scheduled time due to Client's act or omission, Client will be charged the full fee for the scheduled minimum visit (2 hours at the hourly rate), plus any non-refundable costs Provider has already incurred for materials or special orders. 3.5 If Provider cancels or reschedules due to illness, emergency, unsafe conditions, or events outside Provider's control, Provider will work with Client to reschedule as soon as reasonably possible. Client will not be charged a cancellation fee in this situation. 3.6 If repeated cancellations or rescheduling by either Party make it impractical to complete the Services, either Party may end this Agreement under the Term & Termination clause.

This clause explains how appointments are set, how much notice is needed to cancel or reschedule, and what happens if the Client cancels late or the Provider must reschedule. Late or missed appointments caused by the Client trigger a charge equal to the 2‑hour minimum plus any non-refundable costs.

4. ACCESS, KEYS & SAFETY:

4.1 Client will ensure safe and reasonable access to the property and all work areas, including clear paths to plumbing fixtures, shutoff valves, and equipment. This includes compliance with the note that Client ensures safe access to work areas. 4.2 If Provider needs keys, gate codes, or alarm codes to access the property, Client will supply them in advance and will inform Provider of any special instructions. Provider will take reasonable care to protect this information and any physical keys while in Provider's possession. 4.3 Client must ensure that work areas are free from hazards, such as exposed wiring, structural instability, unsafe stairs, or other dangerous conditions. Provider may refuse to start or may stop work if Provider believes conditions are unsafe. 4.4 Client will locate and clearly mark any known hidden systems that could affect the work, such as shutoff valves, septic systems, in-floor heating, or private utility lines, to the extent Client is aware of them. 4.5 If Provider cannot safely access the work area at the scheduled time due to Client's act or omission, that failure will be treated as a late cancellation by Client under Section 3. 4.6 Provider will take reasonable precautions to protect surrounding areas but is not responsible for normal dust, noise, or minor disturbances that are usual for plumbing work.

This clause requires the Client to provide safe access, keys or codes if needed, and to keep work areas free from hazards. It lets the Provider refuse or stop work if conditions are unsafe and ties access problems caused by the Client to the cancellation terms.
Risk & exceptions

5. PETS & SPECIAL CONDITIONS:

5.1 If there are pets on the property, Client will secure them in a way that allows Provider to work safely and without interference. 5.2 Client is responsible for any injury or damage caused by Client's pets to Provider's personnel or equipment. 5.3 Client will inform Provider before the service date of any special property conditions that might affect the work, such as water shutoff limitations, known mold or contaminant issues, or previous water damage. 5.4 Provider may stop work if pets, environmental conditions, or other special conditions make it unsafe or unreasonable to continue. In that case, the visit may be charged as a late cancellation by Client under Section 3.

This clause covers how pets and unusual property conditions are handled. It requires the Client to secure pets, disclose special conditions, and accept responsibility if pets cause injury or damage.

6. EXCLUSIONS:

6.1 Unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing, the Services do not include: (a) Structural repairs, including repair of walls, floors, or framing beyond basic access holes for plumbing work. (b) Electrical work beyond shutting off and turning on breakers related to the work area. (c) Asbestos, lead, mold, or other hazardous material testing, removal, or remediation. (d) Landscaping, finish carpentry, painting, or cosmetic repairs after plumbing access work, except for basic patching if expressly agreed. (e) Any work that would require special licensing or permits that Provider does not hold. 6.2 Provider is not responsible for pre-existing issues in Client's systems or property, such as outdated or deteriorated pipes, code violations, or prior improper work, even if those issues are discovered during the Services. 6.3 Provider does not guarantee that existing fixtures, appliances, or plumbing systems will work with new parts or installations if they are already worn, damaged, or incompatible. Provider will inform Client if Provider believes replacement, upgrades, or additional work are needed.

This clause lists what is not included in the plumbing services, like structural work, hazardous material handling, and cosmetic repairs, and clarifies that the Provider is not responsible for pre-existing problems or incompatibilities in the Client's systems.

8. LIABILITY & DAMAGE:

8.1 Provider will perform the Services in a careful and workmanlike manner. Client will promptly inform Provider in writing if Client believes there is a problem with the Services. 8.2 Client understands that plumbing work can involve opening walls, ceilings, or other surfaces; working on older or fragile materials; and turning water on and off. Normal minor damage, such as small access holes, scuffs, or dust, is expected and is not treated as property damage. 8.3 Provider is not responsible for damage or failure caused by: (a) Pre-existing conditions, including old, corroded, or improperly installed pipes or fixtures. (b) Client's failure to follow Provider's instructions or recommendations. (c) Modifications or repairs made by others after Provider completes the Services. 8.4 If Provider is found responsible for property damage directly caused by Provider's work, Provider's total responsibility for all claims arising out of this Agreement will be limited to a maximum of USD $500 in the aggregate. 8.5 In no event will either Party be responsible to the other for lost profits, loss of business, or other indirect or consequential damages arising from the Services. 8.6 Client is responsible for any injury or property damage caused by Client's pets to Provider's personnel, vehicles, or equipment while Provider is on the property. 8.7 The Parties will each maintain their own insurance as they consider appropriate for property damage, illness, injury, and business risks.

This clause explains how damage and liability are handled, including that normal minor wear from plumbing work is expected, and that the Provider’s total responsibility for property damage related to the work is capped at $500. It also excludes responsibility for pre-existing problems and indirect losses and puts pet-caused injuries or damage on the Client.
Legal wrap-up

7. TERM & TERMINATION:

7.1 This Agreement starts on the Effective Date and continues until the Services are completed and all amounts due are paid, unless ended earlier under this Section. 7.2 Either Party may end this Agreement at any time for any reason by giving written notice to the other Party. If Client ends the Agreement, Client will pay Provider for all Services performed and costs incurred up to the effective date of termination, including any applicable cancellation charges under Section 3. 7.3 Either Party may end this Agreement immediately if the other Party commits a material breach and does not correct that breach within a reasonable time after written notice describing the breach. 7.4 Provider may pause or end work immediately if conditions at the property are unsafe, if access is repeatedly denied, or if Client fails to pay amounts due. In that case, Client will still owe payment for Services already performed and any applicable cancellation charges. 7.5 Ending this Agreement does not affect any rights or obligations that have already built up, including payment obligations, limits on liability, and dispute resolution terms.

This clause explains when the Agreement starts and ends, how either side can terminate it, and what must be paid if it ends early. It allows the Provider to stop work for nonpayment, unsafe conditions, or lack of access while preserving payment and other ongoing obligations.

9. GOVERNING LAW & DISPUTE RESOLUTION:

9.1 This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the state where the property receiving the Services is located, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. 9.2 The Parties will first try in good faith to resolve any dispute about this Agreement or the Services through informal discussion. 9.3 If the Parties cannot resolve a dispute through discussion, either Party may pursue mediation or another agreed form of alternative dispute resolution. 9.4 If a dispute is not resolved through mediation or other agreed methods, either Party may seek relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in the state identified in Section 9.1. 9.5 Each Party is responsible for its own costs and attorney or representative fees in any dispute, unless a court or other decision-maker decides otherwise.

This clause states which state’s rules will apply and describes how disputes should be handled, starting with informal talks, then optional mediation, and finally going to court if needed. Each side generally pays its own costs unless a court decides differently.

10. GENERAL PROVISIONS:

10.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any attached Service Schedule or work order, is the entire agreement between the Parties about the Services and replaces all prior or current written or spoken understandings about the same subject. 10.2 Amendments. Any change to this Agreement must be in writing and signed or clearly agreed to by both Parties, which may include confirmed email or text if both Parties accept that method. 10.3 No Waiver. If either Party does not enforce a right under this Agreement, that does not mean the Party gives up that right in the future. 10.4 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found to be invalid or cannot be applied, the rest of the Agreement will remain in effect, and the invalid part will be replaced with a provision that is as close as possible to the original intent. 10.5 Assignment. Neither Party may transfer or assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the other Party's written consent, except that Provider may use employees, subcontractors, or assistants to perform the Services while remaining responsible for their work. 10.6 Notices. Formal notices under this Agreement will be sent to the contact details provided by each Party and may be delivered by hand, mail, email, or text message if the receiving Party has used or accepted that method for communications about the Services. 10.7 Independent Contractor. Provider is an independent contractor and not an employee of Client. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship.

This clause wraps up standard terms: it says this document and its attachments are the full agreement, changes must be in writing, rights are not lost by not enforcing them once, invalid parts do not cancel the whole agreement, and the Provider remains an independent contractor.
