The number that matters: water category

Restoration pros price by the IICRC S500 water category — clean water (Category 1) runs about $3–$4/sq ft, gray water (Category 2) about $4–$6.50/sq ft, and black water (Category 3, sewage/floodwater) about $7–$7.50+/sq ft (RestoreAdvisor 2026). The national average project is roughly $3,860 (PuroClean 2026). Ask every contractor which category your job is priced on — it tells you instantly whether the number is in the right universe.
