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 Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Cost?
Typical national cleanup costs range from about $1,200 to $5,000 for a limited wet area and can exceed $10,000 when water reaches several rooms or floors. The scope depends on water volume, materials and drying time. Extraction, selective removal and equipment monitoring can change the total, while sprinkler system work is a separate trade.
- Small contained discharge: $1,200 to $3,000. Typical extraction and drying for a limited area with accessible surfaces.
- Several wet rooms: $3,000 to $7,000. Typical work when carpet, wall bases or ceiling materials hold water.
- Multiple floors affected: $7,000 to $15,000+. Typical larger loss with broad moisture mapping, removal and extended drying.
- System work and rebuild: Quoted separately. A sprinkler contractor handles the system; finishing trades price reconstruction after drying.
