There is a clock on this. Wet building material begins to colonize in roughly 24 to 48 hours, so the difference between a drying bill and a remediation bill is usually how fast someone got there with extraction and air movement.
We extract, set air movers and dehumidification to an engineered drying plan, and take daily moisture readings against a documented target rather than pulling equipment when the surface feels dry. Those readings are also what your carrier wants to see.
Pricing
| Scope | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Emergency extraction and setupCall-out, extraction, initial equipment | $500 – $1,500 |
| Structural drying, per dayTypically 3–5 days | $200 – $600 |
| Single-room water loss, complete | $1,500 – $4,000 |
| Multi-room or whole-floor | $4,000 – $15,000 |
| Sewage or Category 3 cleanupRequires removal of porous material | $2,500 – $12,000 |
Typical range for this market — not a quote. Every property is different, and the number that matters is the written scope you get after the free inspection.
Before we arrive
In order. The first two matter more than everything after them.
Code & jurisdiction
The rules for this work are not the same across the three jurisdictions we serve. Pick yours for licensing, permits, and tenant rights.
How the work runs
No hand-offs, no second contractor to hire for the rebuild, and no testing done by the same people who did the removal.
A licensed technician walks the property with moisture meters and a thermal camera, finds the water source, maps the affected square footage, and photographs everything your insurer will ask about.
You get a written scope and line-item estimate the same day, built in the estimating format carriers expect — plus the photo log and moisture readings that support the claim.
The work area is sealed in 6-mil poly with a negative-air machine and HEPA filtration so spores are not pushed into the rest of the house while we work.
Non-salvageable porous material is cut out and bagged, framing and salvageable assemblies are HEPA-vacuumed and treated with an EPA-registered antimicrobial, then the space is dried to a documented moisture target.
An independent hygienist samples the area and issues a clearance report. We do not test our own work — the document is yours, and it is what a buyer, a lender, or a tenant will accept.
Remediation without repair guarantees a callback. We correct the roof, siding, window, flashing, or grading failure that let water in — then put the drywall, paint, and flooring back.
Straight answers
We run 24/7 for active water. Call rather than book a slot — this is the one situation where the calendar is the wrong tool.
For a small clean-water spill caught immediately, sometimes. For anything that has soaked into drywall, pad, or subfloor, consumer fans move surface moisture only, and blowing air across contaminated water spreads it. The readings are also what your carrier needs.
Grossly contaminated — sewage backup, rising floodwater, or clean water that has sat long enough to grow. It requires removal of porous material rather than drying, and it needs containment. It is also the category most likely to need a specific policy endorsement.
What we do
Every service page carries the typical price range, what the code requires in that jurisdiction, and the steps to take before anyone arrives.
Moisture mapping, thermal imaging, and independent lab sampling — so you know what you have before anyone sells you a remediation.

See pricing & steps →Stachybotrys handled to the same containment standard as everything else — because the response does not change with the species.
See pricing & steps →The most common mold job in the DMV — finished lower levels built tight against below-grade block, with no drainage correction.
