Typical water damage work

• 24/7 emergency extraction, containment and structural drying
• Moisture mapping, dehumidification and antimicrobial treatment
• Rebuild of drywall, flooring and cabinetry after drying

When to get it looked at

Standing water, saturated drywall or carpet, or a musty smell within 48 hours of a leak. Problems of this kind often get worse, and more expensive to fix, when they are left.

What drives the cost

We don't publish prices, because a job can't be priced properly without someone seeing it. The total usually depends on the scope of work, the materials chosen, how easy the site is to work on, the condition of what is already there, and local labour rates. This work is usually priced per project. Our Water Damage guide explains each factor and how to compare quotes.

Choosing a contractor

• Confirm the licence number with your state licensing board where one is required.
• Ask for a current certificate of insurance.
• Get the scope in writing — materials, quantities, timeline and what happens if conditions change.
• Compare more than one quote before deciding.
• Be cautious of anyone asking for full payment before work begins.

A warning sign to watch for

Get the moisture readings in writing before and after. That log is what your insurer will ask for.
