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 HVAC Leak Water Damage Cleanup Cost?
Typical national water damage restoration projects run roughly $1,400 to $6,400. An AC overflow may cost less or more depending on the wet area, water condition and materials involved; this range is context, never a quote. Drying equipment, monitoring and removal of unsalvageable material can each change the total.
- Small contained cleanup: $500 to $1,500. Typical context for limited extraction and drying when water stays in one accessible area.
- Moderate room damage: $1,500 to $4,000. Typical context when flooring, baseboards or a wall need drying.
- Larger multiroom loss: $4,000 to $10,000+. Typical context when water crosses rooms or enters ceilings and cavities.
- Overall restoration benchmark: $1,400 to $6,400. A broad national reference, not a price for a particular home.
What changes the price
