Hurricane Season Deep Clean Cost Estimator
Estimate the total cost of professional deep cleaning services after hurricane damage, including debris removal, mold remediation, water extraction, and sanitization.
Home Square Footage (sq ft)
Damage Level
Light – Minor debris, surface dirt, no flooding Moderate – Some water intrusion, mud, debris Severe – Significant flooding, mold risk, structural debris Catastrophic – Major flooding, confirmed mold, hazardous materials
Number of Stories
1 Story 2 Stories 3+ Stories
Mold Remediation Needed?
No Yes – Minor (isolated spots) Yes – Extensive (multiple rooms)
Water Extraction Needed?
No Yes – Less than 2 inches Yes – 2 to 6 inches Yes – More than 6 inches
Debris Removal Volume
None Light (1–2 truckloads) Moderate (3–5 truckloads) Heavy (6+ truckloads)
Sanitization & Disinfection?
No Yes – Standard Yes – Hospital-grade / Biohazard
Service Urgency
Standard (scheduled within 1 week) Urgent (within 48 hours) Emergency (same day / 24 hours)

#### Formula
Total Cost = (Base Clean Cost + Mold Cost + Water Extraction Cost + Debris Cost + Sanitization Cost) × Urgency Multiplier
- Base Clean Cost = Square Footage × Damage Rate ($/sqft) × Stories Multiplier Damage rates: Light $0.15, Moderate $0.30, Severe $0.55, Catastrophic $0.85 per sq ft
- Mold Remediation: Minor = $500 + (sqft × 15% × $1.50); Extensive = $1,500 + (sqft × 35% × $3.50)
- Water Extraction: <2 in = $0.25/sqft; 2–6 in = $0.50/sqft + $300; >6 in = $0.85/sqft + $600
- Debris Removal: Light = $350; Moderate = $1,050; Heavy = $1,800 (based on truckload pricing)
- Sanitization: Standard = $0.12/sqft × stories; Hospital-grade = ($0.28/sqft + $250) × stories
- Urgency Multiplier: Standard = 1.00×; Urgent (48 hr) = 1.25×; Emergency (24 hr) = 1.50×
- Estimate Range: ±15% of total to reflect regional and market variability
