Water category
Clean supply water is the cheapest to dry. Gray water adds pad removal and antimicrobial. Sewage, river and tidal floodwater add removal of porous materials and containment.
Basements and old plaster
Finished basements stack carpet, pad and drywall on a cold slab, and plaster walls in older row homes hold water longer than drywall. Both add days and labor.
How fast drying started
Water left for days soaks deeper, can degrade to a dirtier category and turns drying into tear-out. Speed is the cheapest variable to control.

How accurate is this calculator?
It gives a typical range based on the main cost drivers. The actual scope comes from a walkthrough and a moisture map of the building.
Why does the water source change the price so much?
Category 1 water can usually be dried in place. Category 3 water means removing the carpet, pad, drywall and insulation it touched, which adds labor and disposal.
Why do plaster walls cost more to dry?
Plaster on lath is dense and holds water longer than drywall. Drying it in place takes more equipment days, but it usually saves the original walls.
Does insurance pay these costs?
Sudden and accidental water damage is often covered, while river flooding, groundwater and sewer backup are treated differently. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
Why does waiting cost more?
Water spreads and soaks deeper every hour, and after a few days clean water can degrade to a dirtier category. Faster drying means less removal.
Does a finished cellar count as a basement here?
Yes. A finished cellar with carpet or paneling dries like a finished basement, and an unfinished brick cellar dries like an unfinished one.
