What Does Water Removal Near Me Cost?

Water removal typically runs about $800 to $2,200 for a small clean-water leak and $2,400 to $11,000 for a flooded room, basement or several rooms. Sewage and flood water usually cost more because contaminated materials have to be removed, not just dried.

Small clean-water leak: $800 to $2,200. One room, carpet or hard floor, then several days of dehumidifier and fan time.
Room with wet drywall or flooring: $2,400 to $5,800. Adds removal of wet baseboard, padding or the bottom of the drywall.
Flooded basement or several rooms: $4,500 to $11,000. More square footage, more equipment and a longer dry-out.
Sewage or contaminated flood water: $3,800 to $14,000. Contaminated porous materials are torn out, then surfaces are cleaned and treated ahead of drying.
