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 Ray 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 Ray.
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 Ray.
Every Ray 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 Ray 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 Ray technician we deploy carries active WRT certification and applies calibrated, documented methods.
On arrival in Ray, 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.
COS Water Damage Restoration's Ray Water Extraction team handles every water extraction scenario — from residential flooding to large commercial events — with equipment and technique matched to the specific situation.
For large-scale events in Ray, the right equipment makes the difference between hours and days of extraction time.
Leaving hidden moisture behind after extraction is how Ray properties develop mold three weeks after a "completed" job by another company.
Original hardwood flooring in Ray 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 Ray 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 Ray 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 Ray 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 Ray 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 Ray dispatch — no voicemail, no hold queue, no automated menu.
Ray 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.
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 Ray 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 Ray 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 Ray 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."
