With Truck mount cleaning... ALOT of people don't look at the back ground costs...  just to have a truck sitting ready to do a call cost money... the wear and tear things wear out. I've been through 5000 ft of pressure line, I've gone through at least a hundred belts... 100 gallons of oil...air filters fuel filter..etc etc etc...

then when you get to the call they want to pay you 50 bucks... the funny thing is when any of my equipment breaks it has never cost me 50 bucks..always in the hundreds, thousands and sometimes it feels like MILLIONS...

Hopefully you guys don't give away services for to cheap, one repair bill can take back everything you made for a month or MORE

I charge to remove the standing water. Then the water extraction.  To remove pad I charge by the sq. ft. to remove carpet again unit measurement same with content manipulation.  Every job is different.  Two to three inches is not alot of water but we charge to remove it separately.Guitar

ADWA:  After hours we charge $125.00 for the call.  No service charge during regular hours.  We also charge $0.41 a sq. ft. for water extraction with the truck.  Your customers have to realize once they start the job they are responsible for the end result .  They need a autorization signed and also need to explain what the end result will be regarding mold etc. If the job is not completed properly, so get them to also sign that you explaind thier rights and your customer is off the hook. ADWA we use a program for the most part when it comes to water. We invoice the same weather it is insurance or private.Guitar

Doug I have a lot of people asking me what they should charge for flood work for their customer who just wants them to take care of the job.

What would be a realistic charge? Basically!!!
