What Does Washing Machine Leak Water Damage Cleanup Cost?
Typical national cost for a washer leak that stays in the laundry area runs from about $800 to $3,500 for extraction and drying. Water that reaches other rooms or a ceiling below pushes the total higher.
- Small leak, one hard-floor room: $800 to $2,200. Typical for a short leak that stayed in the laundry area, with extraction and a few days of drying.
- Water into a hallway or kitchen: $2,500 to $6,500. Typical when carpet pad, baseboards or the bottom of the drywall come out.
- Leak through the ceiling below: $4,500 to $12,000. Typical when two levels need drying and ceiling drywall or insulation is removed.
- Rate by square foot, clean to dirty water: $3 to $7. Typical mitigation range per square foot, with clean hose water at the low end and sewage-tainted water at the top.
