How this tool works

The calculator starts from the wet square footage, then multiplies for the water category (clean, gray or black water each takes more work to handle safely), the materials involved (hardwood, plaster and ceilings take longer than a bare slab) and the days that passed before drying started. Waiting lets clean water turn into Category 2 and pushes moisture deeper into framing and lath, which is why the last question matters.

Real jobs are priced after a walkthrough and a moisture map, with a line-item scope. Sudden losses such as a burst pipe are commonly covered after the deductible, while creek flooding and drain backup often are not; coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
