Pick the closest answer for each one. The range updates as you go and reflects extraction, drying equipment, removal of wet materials and monitoring, not the plumbing repair itself.
Clean water caught early usually dries in place.
Estimate only, not a quote. The real scope comes from the walkthrough and the moisture map.

Service ranges: slab leak water damage, water heater leak cleanup and sewage backup cleanup.
Water category
Clean supply water is the cheapest to dry. Gray water adds pad removal and an antimicrobial. Storm runoff and sewage add removal of porous materials and containment.
Access and square footage
More wet floor means more air movers and dehumidifiers. A slab leak means lifting flooring, and a ceiling leak means opening drywall overhead, which both add labor.
How fast drying started
Water left for days soaks deeper, can degrade to a dirtier category and turns drying into tear-out. Speed is the cheapest variable to control.

It gives a typical range from the main cost drivers. The actual scope comes from a walkthrough and a moisture map of the home.
Why does the water source change the price so much?
Category 1 water can usually be dried in place. Category 3 water means removing the carpet, pad, drywall and insulation it touched, which adds labor and disposal.
Does insurance pay these costs?
Sudden and accidental water damage is often covered, while flooding, sewer backup and slow leaks are treated differently. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
Why does a slab leak cost more to dry?
The water sits under the flooring and at the slab edge. Flooring gets lifted, the concrete is dried with dehumidifiers and air movers, and the pipe repair is a separate plumbing cost.
Why does waiting cost more?
Water spreads and soaks deeper every hour, and after a few days clean water can degrade to a dirtier category. Faster drying means less removal.
