Affected floor area, set by meter
Professional plan is the wet area on the floor plan, not the size of the visible puddle. That footprint drives both labor hours and equipment counts.
Business hours versus after hours work
For a professional recovery, evening and weekend crews cost more per hour, and calling a crew out beyond normal hours adds a national dispatch charge of $100 to $400.
