Water damage can be quite costly. When you have major water damage, there is more to repairing your property than just removing the water and drying it out. There is a good chance that some of the materials on your property will need to be replaced or repaired. Most items that are porous, mattresses, particle board, drywall and similar items will need to be replaced if they came into contact with water. Bacteria can set up in these types of materials, even when completely dried out.

Typical costs to a professional service can include:

• Costs for labor
  • Setup time, hourly wages, cleanup and removal time, worksite preparation
• Costs for materials
  • Delivery of materials
  • Actual material costs plus sales tax
    • Paint, drywall, brick, wood, flooring, insulations, plumbing, electrical, any other materials needed
  • Removal of damaged materials
• Testing and Remediation of hazardous materials
• Permits and inspection fees

How much damage and what type of water caused the damage will decide on how much of these costs you will need to pay. There are three different types of water damage and each one has different costs to clean up after.

• Clean water usually comes from rainwater or other sources that are not contaminated such as ice makers and bathroom sinks.
• Gray water is water that is not clean but not hazardous either. It typically comes from drains like a dishwasher, washing machine or bathtubs.
• Black water can be very dangerous as it usually comes from raw sewage lines, floodwaters or overflowing toilets. It can contain hazardous material and bacteria. It is the most expensive to clean as almost everything it touches will need to be replaced or thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
