Legal Disclaimer & Terms

1. Nature of the Referral Service

The website leakfreakplumbing.us (hereinafter referred to as "the Website", "we", "us", or "our") functions exclusively as an informational directory and marketing referral service designed to assist homeowners, commercial property managers, landlords, and residential tenants in connecting with third-party independent plumbing contractors located in Jackson, Mississippi and surrounding metropolitan communities.

Leak Freak Plumbing is not a licensed plumbing contracting firm, does not perform direct plumbing, sewer, or gas line labor, and does not directly employ plumbers, apprentices, or field technicians. When you place a telephone call to (601) 891-9387, our routing technology connects you directly to an independent, third-party plumbing business entity operating in Central Mississippi.

2. Independent Contractor Relationship & Absence of Agency

All plumbing contractors, technicians, rooter operators, and diagnostic specialists accessible through our referral service are independent business owners or employees of third-party plumbing enterprises. Nothing contained on this Website or communicated during telephone routing shall be construed as creating an employment, partnership, joint venture, agency, or franchise relationship between Leak Freak Plumbing and any participating contractor.

Participating contractors maintain sole and exclusive discretion over their business operations, technician hiring practices, diagnostic methodologies, vehicle equipment, pricing schedules, warranty terms, and scheduling availability. We do not exercise supervisory control, direction, or oversight regarding the manner, methods, or means by which independent contractors perform plumbing evaluations, mechanical repairs, or installations.

3. No Warranty, Guarantee, or Endorsement of Workmanship

Leak Freak Plumbing makes no representations, warranties, or endorsements, whether express, statutory, or implied, regarding the quality, timeliness, suitability, safety, legality, code compliance, or outcome of any diagnostic, repair, excavation, or installation work performed by referred contractors.

To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law in the State of Mississippi, we expressly disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, workmanlike performance, and non-infringement. Any warranties, guarantees, satisfaction promises, or service agreements are made solely and exclusively between you (the property owner or consumer) and the independent plumbing contractor you elect to hire.

4. Consumer Responsibility for Contractor Verification & Permitting

While our network aims to connect callers with reputable local professionals, each consumer maintains the ultimate responsibility to independently evaluate, verify, and confirm the qualifications, active licensing credentials, bond status, and general liability insurance coverage of any contractor prior to authorizing work on their property.

In the State of Mississippi, major plumbing repairs, sewer line excavations, gas line modifications, and water heater replacements in the City of Jackson and surrounding Hinds, Rankin, and Madison County jurisdictions may require municipal permits and official code inspections. Property owners must ensure that the performing contractor pulls all necessary permits with local building departments prior to undertaking structural plumbing alterations.

5. Direct Contractual & Financial Relationship

Our referral connection service is provided to consumers at zero cost. We do not bill property owners, collect diagnostic fees, process credit card transactions, or issue invoices for plumbing labor.

When you engage a referred plumbing contractor, you enter into a direct, legally binding contract solely between yourself and that independent contractor. All price negotiations, written estimates, payment arrangements, material selections, and invoices are handled directly between you and the service provider. Leak Freak Plumbing has no involvement in financial transactions and is not liable for billing disputes, price disagreements, or refund requests.

6. Limitation of Liability & Hold Harmless Terms

Under no circumstances, including negligence, shall Leak Freak Plumbing, its officers, owners, affiliates, marketing agents, or technological partners be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, consequential, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with:

• The use of or inability to use this Website or telephone referral connection service.
• Any acts, errors, omissions, representations, warranties, breaches, or negligence of any independent contractor referred through this platform.
• Any personal injury, death, property damage, water damage, foundation movement, sewage contamination, mold growth, or fire damage resulting from plumbing or gas line work performed by independent contractors.
• Delays in contractor arrival times, failure of equipment, or service cancellations.
• Any disputes, disagreements, or claims arising between property owners and independent contractors.

By utilizing this Website and placing a call to (601) 891-9387, you agree to release, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Leak Freak Plumbing and its affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from your interactions with third-party service providers.

7. Emergency Services & Life Safety Disclosures

Plumbing systems interact with pressurized water lines, flammable natural gas and propane infrastructure, and biohazardous sanitary sewer effluent. While our telephone referral system facilitates emergency connections 24/7/365, Leak Freak Plumbing does not guarantee specific arrival times or emergency dispatch availability during extreme weather events, natural disasters, or periods of high regional service demand in Central Mississippi.

If you detect the smell of natural gas, suspect a carbon monoxide leak from a gas water heater, or observe water rising near electrical panels or outlets, take immediate personal safety measures: evacuate the premises immediately, avoid touching light switches, call 911 and your local gas utility provider from a safe location, and wait outside for emergency first responders.

8. Informational Content & Local Geological Guidance

The articles, service descriptions, diagnostic tips, and local geological commentary (including discussions of Yazoo clay soil expansion, pipe corrosion, and water heater sediment) provided on leakfreakplumbing.us are published for general educational and informational purposes only. This content does not constitute professional engineering, structural, architectural, or master plumbing advice.

Plumbing systems vary significantly across individual properties in Jackson, Belhaven, Fondren, Eastover, and South Jackson. You should never attempt hazardous plumbing, gas line, or electrical modifications yourself without consulting a licensed master plumber.

9. Material Warranties, Manufacturer Guarantees & Equipment Disclaimers

Plumbing installations frequently involve specialized manufactured hardware, including tank and tankless water heaters, high-output sump pump motors, sewage ejectors, water filtration vessels, copper pipe fittings, and PEX-a piping systems.

Leak Freak Plumbing does not manufacture, test, sell, or distribute physical plumbing hardware and makes no express or implied warranties regarding equipment longevity, energy efficiency ratings, or manufacturer defects. Any warranties covering replacement parts or appliances are supplied strictly by the individual equipment manufacturer (such as Bradford White, Rheem, Rinnai, Moen, Kohler, or Zoeller) or via written labor warranties provided directly by the installing independent contractor.

Consumers must register newly installed appliances directly with the respective equipment manufacturer to activate product warranties, and must direct any defective part claims to the installing contractor or product manufacturer.

10. Mississippi Mechanic Lien Laws & Municipal Environmental Disclosures

Under the statutory laws of the State of Mississippi (including Mississippi Code Title 85, Chapter 7), independent contractors, subcontractors, and materialmen who furnish labor, materials, or heavy machinery for the improvement of real property may possess statutory mechanic lien rights against the subject real estate if contractually authorized invoices remain unpaid.

Leak Freak Plumbing has no involvement in mechanic lien filings, payment disputes, or debt collection proceedings. Property owners are advised to secure written lien waivers or receipts directly from their hired independent contractor upon the final settlement of all invoiced amounts.

Additionally, the handling and disposal of hazardous plumbing waste (including old lead-soldered pipes, raw sewage biohazards, asbestos insulation around vintage boiler lines in historic Jackson homes, and used refrigerants from hybrid heat pump units) are subject to Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and EPA regulations. Hired contractors are solely responsible for ensuring proper containment, environmental compliance, and legal disposal of all site waste.

11. Insurance Certificate Verification & Subcontractor Policies

Property owners have the right and responsibility to request a direct Certificate of Insurance (COI) from any independent plumbing company prior to the commencement of high-value repairs or subterranean trenching. The Certificate of Insurance should name the property owner as a certificate holder and provide active proof of general liability and workers compensation coverage.

Independent plumbing contractors may, at their sole discretion, utilize licensed apprentices, helper technicians, or specialized directional boring subcontractors to execute heavy excavations or municipal street cuts in Jackson. The primary independent contractor is solely responsible for overseeing and ensuring the mechanical quality and safety compliance of any assisting personnel on your job site.

9. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

This Disclaimer, the Website Terms of Use, and all matters relating to your use of leakfreakplumbing.us shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Mississippi, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding arising under or relating to this platform shall be instituted exclusively in the state or federal courts situated in Hinds County, Mississippi.
