Water damage restoration cost in Reno: $4,150

Reno against the other cities

The national water damage guide from Angi lists Reno, NV at an average of $4,150, with jobs there running $1,670–$7,250. That is $282 above the $3,868 national average the same guide prints (7% higher).

Of the 14 cities in the guide's table, Reno ranks 9th by average cost. Detroit sits just above at $4,450 and St. Cloud just below at $3,820. The median of the listed city averages is $4,580, so Reno is in the lower half.

In Reno the high end of the range is 4.3 times the low end. That spread is ordinary for the table. The average sits near the middle of the range (44% of the way up).

What the Reno average buys, as arithmetic on the guide's per-square-foot rates: about 1,186 sq ft of clean-water work at $3.50, 790 sq ft of gray water at $5.25, or 553 sq ft of black water, the category that includes sewage, at $7.50. The guide's rates are national; it does not print a separate per-square-foot rate for Reno.

Nevada is not one of the 5 jurisdictions whose mold licensing law this site has read (FL, TX, NY, LA and DC), so no state rule is shown here. That is not a finding that Nevada has none; the state's licensing board is the place to ask.

For scale, the Insurance Information Institute reports an average homeowners water damage and freezing claim of $15,400 for 2019-2023. The Reno average is 27% of that figure; claims include repairs and contents, not only drying.
