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 Mims 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 Mims extraction service different.
The equipment we bring to your Mims 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 Mims operation.
WRT certification isn't a formality — it determines whether your drying plan is based on psychrometric science or guesswork. Every Mims 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.
The right extraction approach depends on the water volume, source category, affected materials, and property type. Here's how we handle each scenario in Mims.
Truck-mounted extraction systems — the most powerful commercial water removal equipment available — are deployed for high-volume flooding events in Mims: 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 Mims properties develop mold three weeks after a "completed" job by another company.
Original hardwood flooring in Mims 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 Mims 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 Mims 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 Mims 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 Mims 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 Mims present extraction challenges that residential scenarios don't: larger square footage, multiple affected units, infrastructure protection requirements, and business interruption cost. Our Mims 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 Mims dispatch — no voicemail, no hold queue, no automated menu.
Mims 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.



"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 Mims 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 Mims 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 Mims 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."
