When water gets in, the damage clock starts immediately. COS Water Damage Restoration's Stem Emergency Water Removal crew carries professional-grade extraction systems to every job, arriving fast and working fast to limit the scope of what gets damaged.
The right water removal team in Stem gets to you fast, removes the water completely, and transitions immediately to structural protection — not a service that extracts visible water and leaves hidden moisture to fuel mold growth.
Your water removal response time is directly determined by where the crew is based. Ours is based in Stem.
We don't turn jobs away based on contamination category. Our Stem crew handles Cat 1 through Cat 3 with the proper protocols for each.
Emergency doesn't mean blank check. Before extraction begins, our Stem team provides a written, Xactimate-based scope and cost estimate for your review and approval. The number you approve is the invoice you receive.
We document everything at the extraction phase — before conditions change and evidence is lost.
Every Emergency Water Removal scenario requires the right equipment, the right technique, and the right team. Here's what we handle in Stem.
Rapid volume removal at this stage prevents saturation from reaching framing and subfloor materials.
Fast extraction at the point of failure combined with cavity access drying limits the drywall and framing removal scope.
Basement and crawlspace flooding in Stem requires submersible and portable extraction systems capable of working in low-clearance and confined environments. Our crews carry the right equipment for each scenario — including high-capacity submersible pumps for deep standing water and portable extractors for post-pump residual water in below-grade spaces.
We never use standard extraction equipment on contaminated water events — cross-contamination risk is real, and proper equipment matters.
Our Stem crew extracts surface water and immediately transitions to moisture detection to catch sub-surface migration before drying equipment placement.
Water events in Stem commercial properties carry additional complexity: larger square footages, infrastructure like server rooms and electrical panels, business interruption risk, and tenant notification requirements. Our commercial Emergency Water Removal team in Stem deploys at scale — multiple extraction units, larger crew sizes, after-hours scheduling to minimize disruption — and maintains a dedicated project manager for commercial loss communication.


Call +1-844-499-0972 and a live dispatcher answers immediately — no voicemail, no automated menu, no hold queue. Your dispatcher identifies the closest Stem crew, confirms availability, and dispatches within the first few minutes of your call.
Local crew, local knowledge, and fast roads — your Stem response is as fast as it can be.
No equipment gets placed without your written approval of the scope and cost.
Extraction continues until standing water is completely eliminated and surface moisture is at levels appropriate for structural drying handoff. Our crew immediately stages dehumidifiers and air movers to begin the drying phase — preventing the 24-48 hour mold risk window from opening.



"When our Stem office flooded from a sprinkler malfunction, I needed someone who could handle commercial extraction and not leave us without power or a server room. COS Water Damage Restoration's crew coordinated around our IT setup, staged the extraction equipment without disrupting the networking infrastructure, and had us operational the next morning. One of the best responses I've seen from any service company."
"My Stem rental had a Category 3 sewage backup and I honestly didn't know who to call. COS Water Damage Restoration handled the entire thing — proper containment, professional extraction with the right equipment for contaminated water, and antimicrobial treatment before they left. My tenants were back in within the timeline they promised. Transparent, professional, and they charged exactly what they quoted."
"Three different companies told me they could help with our Stem storm flooding. Only COS Water Damage Restoration showed up with a truck-mounted extraction unit instead of a few shop vacs. The difference in output was enormous — they pulled the water out in a fraction of the time I expected. Highly recommend calling them first."
