The calculator combines wet area, contamination, access to affected layers and delay before source control. These inputs influence extraction, removal and drying work. Plumbing repair, reconstruction and specialist contents recovery can require separate scopes.

Compare a drying window or consult FloodSmart for flood-coverage information.
