Equipment and monitoring days are estimates, billed on actual days until readings reach dry standard.
Sewage-soaked porous materials (carpet, pad, lower drywall) are removed and disposed of, not cleaned.
Work starts on your signed work authorization. Your deductible is due at the start: put the amount here.
Insurance coverage is between you and your insurer. You're responsible for the final amount whether or not a claim pays it.

Why it's laid out this way

  • Category 3 extraction priced apart from clean-water work
  • Removal lines, because contaminated porous materials come out
  • Equipment as unit days, marked as estimates in the detail
  • Contents handling per hour, the line most often left off

Or build it by chat

Attach the photos from the walkthrough and tell Redline "quote Doug Patterson: Cat 3 extraction 500 sq ft, carpet and pad out, 120 ft flood cut, antimicrobial 900 sq ft, 6 air movers and 2 dehus for 5 days, monitoring, 4 hours contents". It builds the estimate and saves it on his file.

It doesn't produce insurer-format line items or a signature page, so the work authorization stays on paper or in your usual tool. Plumbers and property managers who send you these calls belong in your contacts. See quotes and estimates or contacts and CRM.

Price the cleanup while the pumps are running.

Redline is free to start. Send the photos, say the scope, and it builds the estimate.
