Water Extraction in New Orleans done right means extracting every drop — the visible and the hidden — and transitioning immediately to a calculated drying program before the 24-48 hour mold clock expires.

Four commitments that define every Water Extraction job COS Water Damage Restoration performs in New Orleans.
Every New Orleans 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 New Orleans operation.
WRT certification isn't a formality — it determines whether your drying plan is based on psychrometric science or guesswork. Every New Orleans technician we deploy carries active WRT certification and applies calibrated, documented methods.
On arrival in New Orleans, 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 New Orleans.
Truck-mounted extraction systems — the most powerful commercial water removal equipment available — are deployed for high-volume flooding events in New Orleans: 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 New Orleans 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 New Orleans team makes this determination honestly, based on the data.
Commercial and multi-family properties in New Orleans present extraction challenges that residential scenarios don't: larger square footage, multiple affected units, infrastructure protection requirements, and business interruption cost. Our New Orleans 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 New Orleans dispatch — no voicemail, no hold queue, no automated menu.
New Orleans 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 New Orleans 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 New Orleans 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 New Orleans 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."
