Estimate the Cost
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 Frozen Pipe Water Damage Cleanup Cost?
Typical national water damage cleanup and drying costs are about $1,400 to $6,400. A larger loss involving ceilings, multiple rooms or extensive material removal can cost more; the site visit establishes the actual scope. A property with water in several levels, contaminated materials or extensive ceiling removal needs a broader cleanup scope than one accessible wet room.
- Limited extraction and drying: $500 to $1,500. A small, accessible wet area may require limited equipment and labor.
- Typical room-level damage: $1,400 to $6,400. Several wet building layers and days of drying increase the scope.
- Widespread water loss: $6,000 to $15,000. Multiple rooms, wet cavities or heavy removal can raise the cleanup cost.
- Major damage and rebuilding: $15,000 and up. Rebuilding damaged finishes is priced after the structure dries.

- Whether wet insulation or drywall must be removed
- The condition of water after it passes through building materials
- How long the leak continued before extraction started
