Prompt moisture assessment can help identify which materials may still be suitable for drying in place. This answer helps explain likely scope but does not change the numerical planning range.

Square feet needing rebuild after drying (optional)

Reconstruction is modeled separately at $8.5–$18.5 per sq ft of entered rebuild area. The standard-finish basis includes ordinary drywall repair, paint, basic flooring, and paint-grade trim. Structural work, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, premium finishes, contents, and source repair are excluded.

How this calculator works

Restoration pros price largely by the water's contamination category and how much area it affected. This calculator multiplies your affected square footage by the active canonical planning range for the selected category. Reconstruction remains a separate calculation so mitigation and rebuilding are never blended into one hidden rate.

What it cannot know is what a moisture meter will find: how far water traveled inside walls and subfloors, which materials can be dried in place, and whether contamination changes the handling. That is why the output is a planning range. The only reliable number comes from an on-site professional assessment — which is exactly what Water Restoration Pros helps you set up.
