Free Freelance Plumber
Service Agreement
One bad joint or an unsigned change order turns your profit into a lawsuit that'll strip your van to the frame. If you flood a subfloor without a signed contract, you’re paying for the client's new kitchen out of your own pocket.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Lien Rights' clause so you can put a legal chokehold on the property title if the customer decides your labor was a donation.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Freelance Plumber, "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 adding 'small favors' to my list—how do I stop the bleeding?
You pull out the contract and point to the 'Scope of Work' section; anything not on that list requires a signed Change Order with a set price before you even touch a wrench.
What happens if I find a wall full of black mold while I'm opening it up for a pipe?
Use an 'Unforeseen Conditions' clause in your agreement to immediately halt work and shift the liability and remediation costs to the owner so you aren't stuck fixing their rot for free.
The General Contractor says I'll get paid 'whenever the client pays them'—is that standard?
Only if you like working for free; a solid contract includes a 'Pay-When-Paid' prohibition that sets your payday based on your completion date, not someone else's accounting excuses.
