Costs for cleanup and repair after flooding can vary significantly depending on the amount of water, type of flooding and the damaged sustained. The answer can also vary depending on the type of basement you have and where the source of the water/moisture is emanating from. As an example liquid coming from a sewer system (black water) is more expensive to deal with due to the high probability of contaminates and bacteria than clean water.
Cost to repair generally fall into the following categories, removal of the liquid, testing for contaminates and hazardous substances, removal of the damaged materials, dry out and then repair. Addressing the problem promptly is critical in minimizing the ensuing damage and reducing costs. Depending upon the source of the flood, your homeowner’s policy may cover the costs.
