Category of water
Clean supply water dries in place; gray water needs cleaning; sewage and storm runoff are Category 3, so porous materials are removed and surfaces treated.
Units and suites reached
Water that runs down to a unit or suite below doubles the rooms to open, dry and document, and both owners usually need a file.
Material class
Carpet and pad dry fast; hardwood, plaster and concrete hold water and need more equipment days to reach the dry goal.
How fast drying started
Each day of delay lets water wick higher into drywall and deeper into subfloor, which adds removal and equipment time.

Water Damage Cost Calculator questions
How accurate is this cost range?
It is a typical range for extraction, drying and cleanup only, before any rebuild. The walkthrough and the moisture map set the real scope, so the final figure can land outside it.
Does insurance pay for this?
Sudden and accidental water, such as a burst supply pipe, is often covered under a homeowner or condo policy, while flood water usually needs separate flood coverage. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
Why does a unit below raise the cost?
Every wet ceiling, wall and floor below needs its own moisture readings, drying equipment and photos, and the HOA policy and the unit owner policy may both be involved.
Is rebuild included in the range?
No. The range covers mitigation: extraction, drying, cleaning and removal of materials that cannot be saved. Drywall, paint and flooring replacement come after the structure is dry.
What should happen before anyone calls an adjuster?
Stop the water if it is safe, photograph everything before it moves, and start drying. Mitigation that starts fast keeps the claim smaller, and the restoration team documents each day for the file.
Need the water out first?
Extraction and drying start around the clock, with daily readings for the claim file.
