Water mitigation (homes)
| Scope | Guide range |
|---|---|
| Small, contained clean-water loss | about $500 |
| Typical house mitigation | $1,300–$5,500 |
| Large footprint or contaminated (Cat 3) water | $10,000+ |
Lower levels
| Scope | Guide range |
|---|---|
| Pump-out and dry a basement | $750–$4,000 |
A finished lower level with swollen trim and wet cavities sits toward the top of that band; a quick pump of a bare floor sits toward the bottom.
Workplaces and storefronts
Commercial jobs are quoted from measured square footage, how much of the floor must stay open, and whether work has to happen after hours. There is no single “office package” price on this page. See commercial water damage.
What moves a number up or down
- How much water, and whether it was clean, gray or sewage-affected
- How long it sat before extraction
- Finish type — plaster, hardwood, tightly built cavities
- Access, after-hours constraints and how many rooms are wet
- Whether contents need pack-out
Rebuild of finishes, if you ask for it later, is a separate conversation after the moisture log is closed.
Insurance
We photograph the source, the rooms and the drying readings so you have a file to hand a carrier. We do not promise what a policy will pay. Sudden pipe failures and slow seepage are different coverage questions; your adjuster decides.
