How we bill
Emergency water-damage mitigation, structural drying, and rebuild across Brooklyn, Manhattan, and surrounding NYC service areas, 24/7.
We bill time and materials. Invoices itemize labour hours, equipment days, materials, and any sub-trades, so every line can be checked against this list.
- All prices are in US dollars (USD), before applicable taxes.
- Regular hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, excluding public holidays.
- Emergency labour is $250/hr per technician. It applies from arrival on an emergency call-out until the site is stabilized (water stopped, standing water extracted, drying equipment running), and to any mitigation work outside regular hours.
- After the site is stabilized, follow-up work booked during regular hours is billed at the scheduled rate of $149.70/hr per technician.
- Category 3 water (sewage and other contaminated water) is $350/hr per technician at any hour. It replaces the emergency rate; the two are never combined.
- Labour is billed per person, includes drive time, and is rounded to the nearest half hour.
- Call-out minimums are billed separately from labour, equipment, materials, and disposal.
- Equipment is billed per unit, for each day it stays on site, including the return day if it is not picked up by 10am.
- Materials and supplies are billed at cost + 20%. Debris and disposal fees are billed at cost + 18%.
- Fuel surcharge: $12.50 per vehicle, per visit.
- Payment is due as stated on your invoice. Late balances accrue 2% per month, or the maximum New York law allows if lower.
- A $50 fee applies to any returned check, declined card, or failed bank transfer.
