Not all water extraction is the same. Consumer-grade shop vacuums pull surface water while saturation continues working into subfloor and wall assemblies. COS Water Damage Restoration's Orleans Water Extraction service deploys truck-mounted commercial systems rated for high-volume output — combined with thermal imaging and moisture metering that maps where the water you can't see has traveled.

The gap between a good extraction and a mediocre one isn't visible until weeks later — when mold shows up behind a wall that felt dry after a shop-vac cleanup. Here's what makes COS Water Damage Restoration's Orleans extraction service different.
Every Orleans job gets truck-mounted extraction rated for high-volume output, thermal imaging cameras that reveal sub-surface saturation, and moisture meters that document conditions at every sensor point. Consumer rental equipment doesn't come close.
Our Orleans crews are positioned locally — not dispatched from a regional hub. We target 60 minutes on-site from your call, with equipment staged during transit so we're working within minutes of arrival.
Science-based extraction and drying produces better outcomes than intuition-based approaches.
No estimates given over the phone without seeing the scope. No surprises after the work is done.
The right extraction approach depends on the water volume, source category, affected materials, and property type. Here's how we handle each scenario in Orleans.
Truck-mounted extraction systems — the most powerful commercial water removal equipment available — are deployed for high-volume flooding events in Orleans: storm flooding, major pipe failures, and large appliance failures that release significant water rapidly. Truck-mount output far exceeds portable units, reducing total extraction time and limiting saturation of structural assemblies.
Leaving hidden moisture behind after extraction is how Orleans properties develop mold three weeks after a "completed" job by another company.
Hardwood floor salvage is a specialty — not every water extraction crew in Orleans has the training or equipment to do it right.
Below-grade water extraction in Orleans requires submersible pump capability for standing water, then portable extractor transition for residual moisture, and finally vapor barrier inspection and replacement to prevent recurring moisture accumulation. Confined space protocols apply in crawlspaces with limited access — our Orleans crew carries the right equipment for each below-grade scenario.
Carpet and pad systems hold water effectively — up to a gallon per square yard — and standard extraction passes often leave substantial moisture in the pad beneath. Our Orleans crew uses weighted extraction tools that apply appropriate pressure during the extraction pass, then evaluates whether pad salvage or replacement is more cost-effective based on the category and saturation level of the water.
Commercial extraction documentation is prepared to adjuster-ready standard throughout the process.


Live Orleans dispatch — no voicemail, no hold queue, no automated menu.
Orleans local deployment means faster arrival than regional dispatch every time.
Science-based scope assessment means the estimate is accurate, not a rough guess that changes after the fact.
We don't leave after extraction — we stay to set up drying so the project transitions without delay.



"I've dealt with water damage before and had a mediocre extraction company leave moisture behind that turned into a mold problem. When it happened again in my Orleans home, I specifically asked what equipment the company used before booking. COS Water Damage Restoration mentioned their truck-mounted systems and that sold me. The difference in output versus my previous experience was obvious — they were pulling water at a rate I hadn't seen before. Moisture mapping after extraction showed everything was clear. The drying crew followed immediately. Zero mold issues six weeks later."
"Our hardwood floors in a Orleans craftsman home were at risk after the flooding. The COS Water Damage Restoration crew's extraction specialist assessed the moisture content in the boards during extraction and confirmed they were within the drying window for mat drying. We saved the floors — the difference in cost versus replacement was significant. The specialist explained the whole process and called with readings every morning."
"The written estimate before extraction was a first for me — every other contractor I've used has just started working and handed me a bill. COS Water Damage Restoration's pricing conversation happens before the equipment turns on. That's the right way to do it and I won't use anyone who doesn't operate this way."
