How the calculator works
The calculator uses the same drivers a restoration contractor uses to build a scope: the water category, the square footage, the material class and how fast drying started. It adds one local factor, the basement, because water that reaches a finished lower level adds carpet, pad and drywall removal and days of drying.
- Extraction and equipment days scale with the wet square footage.
- Carpet pad, hardwood and plaster add removal or longer drying.
- Category 3 water, such as sewage or river and street flood water, means containment and removal of porous materials.
- Water that sat for days has usually wicked further and may have changed category.
For a typical range by problem, see basement water damage, sewage backup cleanup and frozen pipe cleanup, or use the drying time estimator.
How accurate is the water damage cost calculator?
It gives a planning range built from typical jobs, not a quote. The real scope depends on what the moisture map finds once the property is inspected.
Why does a finished basement raise the number?
Carpet, pad and lower drywall in a finished basement usually have to come out, and basement air dries slowly, so equipment stays longer.
Why does Category 3 water cost more?
Sewage and flood water require containment, removal of porous materials, cleaning and antimicrobial treatment before drying can start.
Does the range include repairs?
No. It covers mitigation: extraction, removal of wet materials and drying. New drywall, insulation, paint and flooring are a separate repair phase.
Will insurance pay for this?
Sudden and accidental water is commonly covered, while flood and slow leaks may be treated differently. Coverage depends on your policy, so it is worth checking with your own insurer.
