What drives the price up
- Time elapsed before extraction (every extra hour roughly doubles the drying time)
- Water category — sewage (Cat 3) costs 3–5x clean water (Cat 1)
- Hardwood floors, plaster walls, and crawlspace involvement
- Square footage affected (mitigation is priced per affected sq ft)
- Need for containment and air scrubbing (mold or biohazard risk)
- Reconstruction beyond mitigation (drywall, flooring, paint, cabinetry)
How insurance changes your out-of-pocket cost
For covered losses, your out-of-pocket cost is usually just your deductible (commonly $500–$2,500 in North Carolina). We bill the carrier directly for the rest. For uncovered losses (gradual leaks, ground water without flood policy, sewer backup without endorsement), the full cost falls to you — which is why same-day mitigation matters so much. The single biggest cost driver is time, not equipment.
