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 Hickman 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.
Maps hidden saturation before drying begins.
Pinpoint and pin-type meters used to document exact moisture levels at each sensor point.
For deep standing water in Hickman basements and crawlspaces before truck-mount transition.
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 Hickman extraction service different.
Every Hickman 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 Hickman 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.
COS Water Damage Restoration's Hickman 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 Hickman: 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 Hickman 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 may be salvageable when extracted quickly; pad is typically replaced regardless. Our Hickman team makes this determination honestly, based on the data.
Commercial and multi-family properties in Hickman present extraction challenges that residential scenarios don't: larger square footage, multiple affected units, infrastructure protection requirements, and business interruption cost. Our Hickman 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 Hickman dispatch — no voicemail, no hold queue, no automated menu.
Our crew arrives with truck-mounted and portable extraction equipment configured for your reported scenario. Equipment is staged during transit so the crew is productive immediately on arrival — not spending 20 minutes unloading and setting up in your driveway.
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 Hickman 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 Hickman 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."
