How Much Does
Water Damage Cost?

A plain-English breakdown from almost 200 real water losses we handled across the Twin Cities. Simple ways to estimate your own, before you call anyone.

This is not a guess, and it is not a national average. We pulled these numbers straight from our own files: more than 300 real Bedrock jobs reviewed, with nearly 200 Twin Cities water losses read line by line. Every figure below comes from estimates we actually wrote, not an industry chart.

Industry averages used
The one-number answer
About $4,600

That is the typical water damage mitigation job in our data. Half of all jobs landed between $2,900 and $7,400. Here are a few simple ways to figure out where your own loss might sit.

1

Count the wet rooms

The easiest math to do in your head. Figure about $1,500 per affected room.

Two rooms, roughly $3,000. Four rooms, roughly $6,000. That held true whether the loss touched one room or five. It will not be exact, but it gets you in the neighborhood fast.

2

Think in square feet

To get closer, use the wet floor area. The typical estimate came out near $10.50 per square foot of wet space. Half of jobs fell between $6.60 and $17.

A wet basement in our data averaged about 470 square feet across 3 rooms. Run that math and you land right around the typical job. The frames agree with each other on purpose.

3

There is always a floor

Here is the part people do not expect. No water loss is cheap, even a small one.

The smallest estimate in our whole set was about $460. A one-room job typically ran around $2,200. That is not padding. Every loss needs an emergency response, setup, daily monitoring, and a minimum amount of drying equipment. Those costs exist whether the puddle is in one closet or across a whole floor.

4

Where your money actually goes

The most useful thing to understand, because it explains the whole bill.

Drying equipment
34%
Demolition & debris removal
20%
Setup, monitoring & teardown
19%
Everything else
23%
Water extraction
4%
The part everyone pictures as the work, sucking the water up, is about 4 cents of every dollar. The real cost is the machines and the days they run. The meter is running even when nobody is in your house.
5

Clean water and dirty water are not the same price

A puddle is not just a puddle. Where the water came from changes the cost, sometimes a lot. Jobs involving sewage or gray water ran a median of about $7,700. The rest ran closer to $4,000. Call it roughly double. Dirty water means more tear-out, more protective work, and more disposal.

6

Drying takes days, not hours

People assume the equipment leaves the next morning. It usually does not. A typical dry-out runs 6 days of equipment. Almost no home dries in one or two.

A good rule of thumb: expect one air mover for every 80 square feet of wet floor, plus one or two dehumidifiers, running four to eight days. If someone says they will dry your home overnight, ask more questions.
7

Quick context: fire is a different animal

If you found this thinking about fire instead of water, the numbers are much larger. The typical fire mitigation estimate in our data was about $22,800, nearly five times the water median. Fire, smoke, and water combined make it a bigger job. That is a separate conversation, and we are happy to have it.

Two things to know before you call anyone

Small losses can fall under your deductible. A modest self-pay loss that stays below your insurance deductible is real and common. Knowing roughly what your loss might cost helps you decide whether a claim even makes sense.

These numbers are mitigation only. Mitigation is the emergency drying and tear-out that stops the damage from spreading. The rebuild that puts your home back together is a separate scope and a separate cost. We handle both, but they are different lines on the plan.

✓

The bottom line

None of these numbers are a quote. Every loss is different. But now you have real ways to think about it:

  • Roughly $1,500 per wet room
  • Roughly $10.50 per wet square foot
  • A typical job around $4,600, most between $2,900 and $7,400
  • A floor of a couple thousand even on small jobs
  • Most of the bill is machines and time, not the extraction

Why Most Water Damage Claims Are Under-Paid — And How Xactimate and Matterport Fix It

Xactimate estimating software open on a laptop beside a Matterport 3D scanner for property assessment

Most water and fire damage claims in the Twin Cities are under-paid — not because insurance carriers are dishonest, but because the contractor on the homeowner’s side submitted a weaker case than the adjuster did. Two pieces of technology separate a paid-in-full claim from a picked-apart one: Xactimate, the estimating software adjusters use to price losses, and Matterport, the 3D scanning platform that turns a damaged room into a walkable digital record.

At Bedrock Restoration, every significant loss in Edina, Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, and the broader Minneapolis metro gets both. Our project managers write scopes in Xactimate. Our technicians scan the property with Matterport before demolition starts. The result: adjusters review the same evidence we saw, priced in the format they already use — and the scope doesn’t get trimmed in third-party review.

What Xactimate actually is (and why it runs the industry)

Xactimate is the estimating platform published by Verisk. It’s used by the vast majority of U.S. property insurance carriers to price repair scopes, which means nearly every claim in the country is effectively scored against the same line-item database. That database holds tens of thousands of repair activities — “remove and replace 1/2-inch drywall, 8-foot ceiling,” “detach and reset base cabinet, standard grade” — each with a regional price that updates quarterly based on local labor and material costs.

When an adjuster writes your scope, they select activities from that database and assign quantities. When a contractor writes a bid in a different format — a spreadsheet, a handwritten estimate, a Word document — the carrier has to translate it back into Xactimate to compare. In practice, that translation isn’t faithful. The carrier extracts the highlights, matches them against their own activities, and sends back a lower number.

A restoration company writing estimates in their own format is a restoration company that is missing out on rebuild scope and insurance-covered work for their customers.

What Xactimate fluency looks like on a claim

A fluent estimator does three things most crews don’t:

  1. Writes the scope in the same software and format the carrier uses, exported as an ESX file the adjuster can import directly — no translation gap.
  2. Knows which activities are included in others and which are line-item add-ons. Many standard repairs require five to eight separate activities to be fully priced. Leave one out and it doesn’t get covered.
  3. Uses the notes field on every ambiguous line to document why a specific activity is required. Adjusters can’t quietly remove a line when the justification is already written into the file they’re reviewing.

The practical effect: when we submit a 40-line scope and the carrier reviews it, 38 or 39 lines usually come back intact. When a non-fluent contractor submits a 22-line bid, the carrier returns 14 lines. The difference gets absorbed by the homeowner — or by the contractor cutting corners to stay on budget.

What Matterport is, and why restoration teams use it

Matterport is a 3D scanning platform originally built for real estate. A scanner — usually mounted on a tripod — captures a room across roughly 360-degree photo stops and stitches them into a “digital twin” you can walk through in any web browser. Room-by-room measurements to the quarter-inch, floor plans, and a dollhouse cutaway view all come out of the same scan.

For restoration, the scan serves a different purpose than it does for real estate. It’s not a marketing asset — it’s a time-stamped evidentiary record of the damage before any demolition or drying happens. The adjuster can walk the loss from their desk. A structural engineer, if one is needed, can review the scene without a second site visit. The homeowner, six months later, can prove exactly what was there before the walls came down.

Three things a Matterport scan solves that photos don’t

  1. Scope disputes. The most common denial language in a water damage claim is “the affected area does not extend to the baseboard / the adjacent wall / the cabinet toe-kick.” That argument loses the moment an adjuster walks the scan and sees water staining ten feet from the source. A photo shows one angle. A scan shows every angle.
  2. Pre-existing damage arguments. Carriers frequently argue that cracks, stains, or warping were pre-existing. A timestamped Matterport scan taken within 24 hours of the loss is hard to dispute — the scan’s metadata is location- and time-tagged, and the platform stores the file on its own cloud with its own audit trail.
  3. Contents inventory. After a fire or major water event, homeowners lose track of what was in a room. A scan captures every visible item. Six weeks later, when the contents list feels incomplete, the scan is a walkthrough-able memory aid — and a contents adjuster will usually accept it as supporting documentation.

How Bedrock documents a loss, start to finish

Every loss we run through an assessment gets the same documentation package.

Before demolition:

  • Matterport 3D scan of every affected area and the immediately adjacent rooms
  • Still photos with moisture meter readings written on the affected surface (pulled from a pinned moisture meter like the Wagner MMC220)
  • Thermal imaging of every wet wall, floor, and ceiling with a FLIR-class camera
  • Master Plumber’s cause-of-loss report stating whether the failure was sudden and accidental

During mitigation:

  • Daily moisture logs showing dry-down progress by location
  • Equipment runtime logs for every air mover and dehumidifier (required by most carriers to approve drying billing)
  • Photos of any concealed damage revealed during selective demolition

At reconstruction hand-off:

  • Xactimate scope with notes, exported as an ESX file the carrier can import directly
  • A change-order tracker for any scope that shifts after demolition reveals hidden damage

Delivered digitally, that package is the difference between a carrier saying “approved as submitted” and “we need additional documentation” — which, on an insurance claim, is another word for a 30-day delay.

What a scope adjustment actually looks like

On a typical second-floor supply-line failure — the kind that saturates a kitchen ceiling, a dining-room wall, and the main-level floor below — a carrier’s first-pass scope often prices the repair at roughly half of what the loss actually is. The adjuster can’t see water migration into the wall cavities from photos alone, and many first-pass scopes leave out the decontamination activities required for a Category 2 loss under IICRC S500.

After a Matterport walk-through and a side-by-side Xactimate comparison, the carrier usually issues a supplemental payment that closes most of that gap. That is money and restoration scope that would have been left on the table if a “photos and a handwritten bid” contractor had run the claim.

We don’t win every supplement. But we win most of them, because the documentation is hard to argue with.

What this means for homeowners shopping restoration companies

If you’re evaluating restoration contractors in Minneapolis, St. Louis Park, Edina, Minnetonka, or anywhere in the southwest metro, three questions separate the tech-forward shops from the rest:

  • “Do you write estimates directly in Xactimate?” If the answer is “we can convert our format to theirs,” it’s not fluency. It’s translation.
  • “Do you 3D-scan significant losses as standard documentation?” If the answer is “we take photos,” you’re getting 2010-era documentation on a 2026 claim.
  • “Who on your staff leads estimating, and are they Xactimate-certified?” Verisk runs a tiered Xactimate certification program. Credentials are verifiable.

Frequently asked questions

Does every water damage claim need a Matterport scan? No. Small single-room losses under roughly $5,000 rarely need one — photos and a clean Xactimate scope are enough. A 3D scan adds the most value on larger losses, fire claims, and any claim where there’s likely to be disagreement about the affected area.

Who pays for the 3D scan — the carrier or the homeowner? In most cases, neither. At Bedrock, 3D scanning is built into our documentation workflow for qualifying losses. We don’t bill it as a line item, and most carriers don’t price it separately in Xactimate.

Can I use a Matterport scan I already have? Yes. Real estate agents and some home inspectors capture scans during listings or pre-purchase inspections. If your home has a pre-loss scan on file, share it with your contractor — it’s the single best piece of evidence for documenting pre-existing conditions versus loss-related damage.

Is Xactimate the only estimating software carriers use? It’s the dominant platform, but not the only one. Symbility is the other major system, used primarily by Canadian carriers and a handful of U.S. ones. A full-service contractor should write in both when the carrier requires it.

How long does a Matterport scan take? For a typical affected area of 1,500 square feet or less, a scan runs 30 to 60 minutes on-site. Processing the scan into a walkable digital twin happens in the cloud and is usually ready within a few hours.
