A small isolated loss (one room, clean water) typically runs $1,000–$3,000. Room-scale damage with drying: $3,000–$7,000. Whole-house or Category-3 losses can run $10,000–$25,000+. Cost depends on damage category, affected area, drying time, and whether insurance is covering the claim.

Most standard NC homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage — burst pipes, appliance failures, storm-driven roof leaks. Gradual leaks, flood (rising surface water), and sewer backup usually require specific endorsements. We photo-document everything and hand your adjuster an Xactimate-ready scope.
