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 Cortez 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.
High-volume truck-mounted extractors for large-scale flooding events in Cortez.
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.
Handles water at depths portable extractors cannot.
Four commitments that define every Water Extraction job COS Water Damage Restoration performs in Cortez.
Every Cortez 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 Cortez 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.
WRT certification isn't a formality — it determines whether your drying plan is based on psychrometric science or guesswork. Every Cortez technician we deploy carries active WRT certification and applies calibrated, documented methods.
No estimates given over the phone without seeing the scope. No surprises after the work is done.
COS Water Damage Restoration's Cortez Water Extraction team handles every water extraction scenario — from residential flooding to large commercial events — with equipment and technique matched to the specific situation.
Truck-mounted extraction systems — the most powerful commercial water removal equipment available — are deployed for high-volume flooding events in Cortez: 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 Cortez properties develop mold three weeks after a "completed" job by another company.
Hardwood floor salvage is a specialty — not every water extraction crew in Cortez has the training or equipment to do it right.
Crawlspace water left in place creates lasting structural moisture problems and serves as a primary mold incubation environment.
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 Cortez 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 and multi-family properties in Cortez present extraction challenges that residential scenarios don't: larger square footage, multiple affected units, infrastructure protection requirements, and business interruption cost. Our Cortez 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 Cortez dispatch — no voicemail, no hold queue, no automated menu.
Cortez local deployment means faster arrival than regional dispatch every time.
Thermal imaging and moisture mapping precede extraction — so the scope is fully known before equipment runs. A written estimate is reviewed with you and approved before work begins. No extraction happens without your sign-off on the scope and cost.
Extraction is thorough — surface water, sub-floor moisture, and cavity saturation are all addressed in sequence. Immediately after extraction, our crew stages dehumidifiers and air movers to begin the structural drying program before mold risk accumulates.



"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 Cortez 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."
"As a property manager in Cortez with several units, I need water extraction contractors who document everything to adjuster standards and can scale to a multi-unit event. COS Water Damage Restoration has handled two multi-unit extractions for me and both times the documentation was clean, the coordination was smooth, and the bill matched the estimate. That consistency is hard to find."
"We called COS Water Damage Restoration after another company did what I now know was an incomplete extraction of our Cortez 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."
