Tax and markup: not included. Determine and apply the appropriate values for your own job. A zero tax entry in this example does not mean the work is tax-exempt.
How to read the quantities
Two trap reassembly allowances × $65 = $130, and two flow checks × $40 = $80. Their $210 subtotal is separate from the two drain-cleaning service lines.
What the example includes—and leaves out
Describe the tool access and work limit at a service level without promising a result that inspection cannot support. If the line remains blocked, explain how diagnostic work would be approved.
Outside this scope: No pipe replacement, camera inspection, excavation, main-line service or guarantee against recurring blockage.
Keep unresolved selections and site conditions visible. If a measurement, material choice or repair requirement changes, revise the relevant quantity or allowance and share the updated estimate before proceeding with the added work.
