While our work may resolve pre-existing water damage through a window, in some cases leaks may still occur. We take great care to caulk and seal window frames to prevent water infiltration through or around the window unit. However, water leaks may still be present due to some other cause. We shall not be responsible for investigating or resolving water leaks at your premises. Mr. Handyman and HM Remodeling will not be liable for any unknown, unforeseen, or pre-existing problems with the existing plumbing or electrical systems. Any of these said issues that may arise, or are discovered, during the course of our work (that are not described as being part of or specifically mentioned in the job scope above) which need to be addressed in order to proceed, will be discussed and agreed upon before any repairs, replacement, or re-configurations of the system is completed. The client will be notified of any such situations before any access openings are cut. When water supply to an older home has been shut down for a period of time, it can cause the water supply lines to release rust and scale debris into the water supply system when the system is re-pressurized. The potential severity of this is not something that can be expected or anticipated. If fixtures become internally clogged with debris or will not properly shut off when the water supply system is re-pressurized, Mr. Handyman or HM Remodeling will not accept liability for these repairs. During the water testing, if there are any leaks or other problems with plumbing fixtures discovered, those issues will be brought to the attention of our site contact and will result in additional charges to repair or replace. We take great pride in your project and do our best to keep the job site clean. Some of the job types may produce more dust than others. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Client has read and accepts the work agreement and has discussed with the Mr. Handyman or HM Remodeling technician the work to be completed and authorizes Mr. Handyman or HM Remodeling to begin work. I hereby acknowledge the satisfactory completion of the services performed as described.
