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 Sulligent 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.
Removes water faster than any portable unit.
FLIR thermal cameras reveal moisture in walls and under floors invisible to the naked eye.
Pinpoint and pin-type meters used to document exact moisture levels at each sensor point.
For deep standing water in Sulligent basements and crawlspaces before truck-mount transition.
Four commitments that define every Water Extraction job COS Water Damage Restoration performs in Sulligent.
Every Sulligent 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.
The faster extraction begins, the smaller the final damage scope. Speed is built into our Sulligent operation.
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 Sulligent.
Truck-mounted extraction systems — the most powerful commercial water removal equipment available — are deployed for high-volume flooding events in Sulligent: 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.
Extraction of visible standing water is only half the job. Thermal imaging cameras and calibrated moisture meters map where water has traveled beneath flooring, inside wall cavities, and above ceiling assemblies before extraction ends — so the drying plan addresses the complete scope of moisture, not just what was visible on arrival.
Hardwood floor salvage is a specialty — not every water extraction crew in Sulligent has the training or equipment to do it right.
Below-grade water extraction in Sulligent 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 Sulligent crew carries the right equipment for each below-grade scenario.
Carpet may be salvageable when extracted quickly; pad is typically replaced regardless. Our Sulligent team makes this determination honestly, based on the data.
Commercial and multi-family properties in Sulligent present extraction challenges that residential scenarios don't: larger square footage, multiple affected units, infrastructure protection requirements, and business interruption cost. Our Sulligent commercial extraction team scales crew and equipment to match the loss — deploying multiple extraction units and coordinating logistics across floors and units with a single dedicated project manager tracking the full scope.


Live Sulligent dispatch — no voicemail, no hold queue, no automated menu.
Sulligent 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.



"The thermal imaging step was what impressed me most. Our Sulligent property looked dry to me, but their camera showed moisture migration behind the baseboard on two walls I never would have suspected. If that had been left in place and the drying missed it, we'd have had mold within the month. Very glad they do this as standard procedure."
"Our hardwood floors in a Sulligent 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."
"We called COS Water Damage Restoration after another company did what I now know was an incomplete extraction of our Sulligent basement. When COS Water Damage Restoration arrived, their moisture mapping immediately showed saturation under the floor tiles that the first company's work had missed entirely. They extracted the residual moisture, replaced the vapor barrier in the crawlspace, and set up a proper drying program. The first company charged us and left a mold problem waiting to happen. COS Water Damage Restoration fixed it correctly."
