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 Stratford 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.
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 Stratford.
The equipment we bring to your Stratford property is the same tier used by commercial disaster recovery operations.
Our Stratford 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 Stratford technician we deploy carries active WRT certification and applies calibrated, documented methods.
On arrival in Stratford, 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 Stratford 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 Stratford, the right equipment makes the difference between hours and days of extraction time.
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 Stratford has the training or equipment to do it right.
Below-grade water extraction in Stratford 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 Stratford crew carries the right equipment for each below-grade scenario.
Carpet may be salvageable when extracted quickly; pad is typically replaced regardless. Our Stratford team makes this determination honestly, based on the data.
Commercial and multi-family properties in Stratford present extraction challenges that residential scenarios don't: larger square footage, multiple affected units, infrastructure protection requirements, and business interruption cost. Our Stratford 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.


Call +1-844-499-0972 any time and a live dispatcher answers immediately. Your situation is assessed in real time, the nearest Stratford extraction crew is dispatched, and your estimated arrival time is confirmed before you hang up.
Stratford 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.
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 Stratford 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 Stratford 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 Stratford 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."
