Typical range: $750 to $1,400
How it works: typical national figures of about $3.75 to $7 per square foot for clean water, $4.50 to $8.50 for gray water and $7 to $13 for black water, multiplied by 1.25 to 1.7 for drywall, ceilings, hardwood or finished basements and by 1.25 when the water sat for more than two days, with a small-job minimum. Pipe repair and rebuild are not included. Estimate only, not a quote.

What Does Storm Water Removal Cost?
Typical national water damage restoration projects run about $1,400 to $6,400, while extensive contaminated flooding can cost more. The exact scope depends on water depth, affected area, material removal and drying time.
- Typical restoration project: $1,400 to $6,400. A broad national benchmark; a storm flood with contaminated materials may exceed it.
- Limited extraction: $500 to $1,500. A typical range for smaller accessible water removal, before extensive drying or material removal.
- Contaminated cleanup: $2,000 to $7,000. A typical range where affected porous materials and cleaning add work.
- Major flood restoration: $7,000 to $20,000+. A typical range when multiple rooms, demolition and prolonged drying are involved.
What changes the price
- Water depth and the square footage reached by runoff
- Category 3 contamination and the amount of porous material removed
- Moisture under flooring, in walls or across multiple levels
- Access for pumping equipment and the drying time shown by readings
