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 Ithaca 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 Ithaca.
Maps hidden saturation before drying begins.
Daily readings tracked until drying targets are met.
Handles water at depths portable extractors cannot.
Four commitments that define every Water Extraction job COS Water Damage Restoration performs in Ithaca.
Every Ithaca 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 Ithaca 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 Ithaca technician we deploy carries active WRT certification and applies calibrated, documented methods.
On arrival in Ithaca, our crew assesses, prepares a written Xactimate-based estimate, and reviews it with you before a single piece of equipment is operated. The approved number is the invoiced number.
The right extraction approach depends on the water volume, source category, affected materials, and property type. Here's how we handle each scenario in Ithaca.
For large-scale events in Ithaca, the right equipment makes the difference between hours and days of extraction time.
Leaving hidden moisture behind after extraction is how Ithaca properties develop mold three weeks after a "completed" job by another company.
Hardwood floor salvage is a specialty — not every water extraction crew in Ithaca has the training or equipment to do it right.
Below-grade water extraction in Ithaca 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 Ithaca crew carries the right equipment for each below-grade scenario.
Carpet may be salvageable when extracted quickly; pad is typically replaced regardless. Our Ithaca team makes this determination honestly, based on the data.
Commercial extraction documentation is prepared to adjuster-ready standard throughout the process.


Live Ithaca dispatch — no voicemail, no hold queue, no automated menu.
Ithaca 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 Ithaca 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."
"As a property manager in Ithaca 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."
"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."
