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 Sebastian 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.
Handles water at depths portable extractors cannot.
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 Sebastian extraction service different.
The equipment we bring to your Sebastian property is the same tier used by commercial disaster recovery operations.
The faster extraction begins, the smaller the final damage scope. Speed is built into our Sebastian operation.
WRT certification isn't a formality — it determines whether your drying plan is based on psychrometric science or guesswork. Every Sebastian 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 Sebastian 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 Sebastian: 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 Sebastian properties develop mold three weeks after a "completed" job by another company.
Original hardwood flooring in Sebastian properties responds differently to water extraction than vinyl or tile — the drying window is narrower, the risk of cupping and buckling is higher, and the technique must account for the seasonal moisture content of the wood at the time of loss. Our Sebastian technicians assess hardwood conditions during extraction and immediately plan for mat drying or board-by-board evaluation based on what the moisture meters show.
Below-grade water extraction in Sebastian 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 Sebastian 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 Sebastian 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 Sebastian dispatch — no voicemail, no hold queue, no automated menu.
Sebastian 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.
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.



"The thermal imaging step was what impressed me most. Our Sebastian 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 Sebastian 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."
