Restoration Cost Calculators for Toronto (2026)
Eleven tools that answer the question people actually type before they phone anybody: what is this going to cost. Each one reads a researched pricing file where every row names the Canadian company that published it, so a figure on this site can be traced back to the page it came from. Nothing asks for an email address, and no result can be bought.

What will the work cost?
8 calculators that turn the size of your problem into a range, with the line items showing so the total is checkable.
Mold removal cost
Price a remediation job by the square footage that is actually affected, with containment, clearance testing and the drywall rebuild costed separately.
Mold inspection and testing cost
What an inspection with lab-analysed samples runs in the GTA, and what each extra sample adds before anyone has removed anything.
Asbestos testing and removal cost
Sample-by-sample lab testing prices, and what Ontario Type 1, 2 and 3 removal costs once a test comes back positive.
Water damage restoration cost
Extraction, structural drying and rebuild priced against the IICRC water category your loss falls into.
Fire and smoke damage cost
Board-up, soot and odour work and structural rebuild, scaled from a single scorched room to a whole house.
Flooded basement cleanup cost
Pump-out, drying and disposal for a flooded basement, with the City of Toronto subsidy netted off the prevention work.
Frozen and burst pipe repair cost
Thawing, the pipe repair itself and the water damage it left behind, priced as the three separate bills they actually are.
Sewage backup cleanup cost
Category 3 cleanup priced by affected area, including the porous materials that have to be thrown out rather than cleaned.
What should you do?
3 tools where the answer is a capacity, a number of days or a verdict rather than a dollar figure.
Dehumidifier size
The pint capacity a room needs, read off the Energy Star sizing table for how damp the space actually is.
Water damage drying time
How many days of air movers and dehumidifiers a wet room needs before anyone can close it up again.
Is water damage covered by insurance?
Pick what let the water in and see what a standard Ontario home policy usually does with that cause, and which endorsement changes the answer.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the numbers in these calculators come from?
- Each one reads a researched pricing file rather than carrying prices of its own, and every row in those files names the Canadian company or authority that published it and links to the page. Where two sources gave different figures for the same job, the range was widened to hold both rather than averaged into a number neither of them charges. Nothing is modelled and no midpoint is computed: a typical figure appears only where a source printed one itself.
How accurate is an estimate from a page like this?
- It is as accurate as a published price range can be about a job nobody has looked at. What these tools do well is tell you whether a quote you have been given is inside the market or outside it, and show which line items a quote has left out. What they cannot see is access, how wet the structure still is, what is behind the wall, and how much of the work an insurer will fund.
Do I have to give an email address to see a result?
- No, and there is nothing to fill in. Every calculator here shows a worked example before you touch it, updates as you type, and never asks who you are. RestorationIndex does not sell leads and no company on this site can pay to appear in a result.
Do the prices include HST?
- No, unless a result says otherwise. Ontario charges 13% HST on restoration and remediation work, and most contractor price lists quote before tax. When you are comparing two real quotes, check whether each one is tax-in or tax-extra before you decide one is cheaper.
