Estimate the Cost
Typical range: $750 to $1,400
How it works: typical national figures of about $3.75 to $7 per square foot for clean water, $4.50 to $8.50 for gray water and $7 to $13 for black water, multiplied by 1.25 to 1.7 for drywall, ceilings, hardwood or finished basements and by 1.25 when the water sat for more than two days, with a small-job minimum. Pipe repair and rebuild are not included. Estimate only, not a quote.

Typical Water Cleanup Costs
Typical national water cleanup costs range from about $1,000 for a small clean water loss to $30,000 or more for a major flood. The affected area, water category, materials and drying work determine the actual scope. Rebuild costs for new finishes come after cleanup and are scoped separately.
- Small clean water area: $1,000 to $3,000. A limited area with early extraction and a short drying period.
- Multiple rooms or basement: $3,000 to $8,000. More extraction, wet material removal and several drying zones.
- Sewage or dirty water: $4,000 to $12,000. Protective handling, porous material removal and surface cleaning.
- Major building loss: $10,000 to $30,000+. Extensive pumping, opened assemblies and a larger drying setup.
