Water damage cost estimator
A rough range for the drying and cleanup part of the job, using published 2026 per-square-foot ranges. Rebuild costs like new drywall and flooring come on top.
Estimated mitigation range
$900 – $1,200
Clean water at about $3 to $4 per square foot.
After-hours calls can cost more. Ask for the emergency rate before work starts.
- Waiting a day or more can turn clean water into gray, and raises the cost.
- If the cause is covered, you'd typically pay your deductible and your insurer pays the approved scope.
- This isn't a quote. Get a written estimate from the company that inspects.
Ranges: about $3 to $4 per sq ft for clean water, $4 to $6.50 for gray water, and about $7 and up for black water, from published 2026 cost guides. See what restoration costs for sources and full-job ranges.
