Basically, when you take your car/home/whatever into a shop, and that's a loose interpretation... you are under a mechanic's lease.
If you take your car to a mechanic shop for a tune up you are under a mechanic lease until you pay for all services rendered.
If you bring a plumber to your house to fix a clogged drain, s/he puts a mechanic's lien on your property.
If you bring in a carpenter to perform work, e.g. an extention on your home, he puts a mechanic's lien on your property.
If you bring in an electrician to fix your wiring, again you get automatically levied with a mechanic's lien.
It's basically protection for the provider of services that they will get paid for their work, or if you're a dirt bag they'll get your property.
