• Any unpaid balance after 14 days from the invoice date will incur a 20% late fee added to the total amount due.

• Accounts remaining unpaid after 30 days may be sent to a third-party collections agency and/or may result in a lien being filed against the property in accordance with Kansas law.

• The customer agrees to be responsible for any additional costs associated with collections, including but not limited to collection fees, administrative costs, and reasonable legal fees where permitted.

 

2. Estimates, Dispatch & Callback Policy

• UTC currently offers free estimates. This policy is subject to change at any time without prior notice.

• A dispatch or service fee may be applied in the future depending on service type, location, or scope of work.

• Callbacks: Issues that arise from work previously performed by UTC will not be charged a dispatch fee.

 

3. Protection of Customer Property

• UTC technicians will make every reasonable effort to protect your home and property during service visits, including the use of protective equipment when appropriate.

5. Pricing for Complicated or Unforeseeable Issues

• Some plumbing problems involve complex, concealed, or unforeseen conditions that cannot be fully diagnosed until work has begun.

• In these cases, accurate upfront pricing may not be possible.

• UTC will communicate findings as they arise and provide updated pricing or options before proceeding further whenever feasible.

 

6. Warranty & Workmanship
