Water Damage Estimator for Orlando Homes
Answer eight short questions about the water in your home. You get the likely water category and drying class, a range for drying equipment, what a written estimate for the job should list, what to do before anyone arrives, and what to say when you call. It is an estimate for planning, not a quote. It never shows prices.
It is based on the water categories and drying classes in the ANSI/IICRC S500 Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration, the IICRC air mover worksheet, and EPA mold and humidity guidance. Nothing you enter is stored or sent anywhere; your answers only appear in the result page's address so you can print or save it.
A worked example
An AC drain line overflowed in a one-story house in College Park (32804) this morning. About 180 square feet of tile over concrete in two rooms got wet, plus the bottom of the drywall. No mold is visible.
- Category 1 (clean water), likely Class 2 drying because carpet, pad, cabinets or the lower walls soaked up water.
- About 5 to 6 air movers: one air mover in each affected room, plus one for every 50 to 70 square feet of wet floor (round up).
- Dry within 24 to 48 hours of the leak to prevent mold growth (EPA).
- An estimate should list extraction, air movers and dehumidifiers per day, daily moisture readings, and drywall removal only if it can't be dried in place.
