What Does Flooded Basement Water Removal Cost?
Typical national totals for flooded basement water removal and drying run from about $1,000 to $6,000, and a finished basement with deep water costs more. These are typical ranges, never a quote, because the crew sizes the job from the basement itself.
- Shallow water, bare concrete: $1,000 to $2,500. Typical for a pump-out, extraction and a few days of drying with nothing torn out.
- Deep water, unfinished basement: $2,500 to $5,000. More pumping, more equipment and some stored or soaked material hauled away.
- Finished basement: $4,000 to $10,000. Carpet, pad and lower drywall come out, and the framing and slab dry behind them.
- Per square foot, by water category: $3 to $8. Clean water sits near the low end. Groundwater, storm water and sewage sit near the top.
What changes the price
- How deep the water got and how many square feet it covered.
- The water category, since clean supply water costs less to handle than groundwater or sewage.
- Finished materials such as carpet, drywall, paneling and built-in cabinets.
- How long the water stood before the pumping began.
