When a pipe fails inside your Hickory Corners property, every minute it runs adds to the total damage scope. Our local team stops the loss, extracts the water, and begins drying immediately — and we handle the insurance documentation the same day.
The thing that separates a burst pipe cleanup done right from one done poorly is the ability to find and dry the water you can't see. Wall cavities, subfloor assemblies, and ceiling voids absorb water fast and dry slowly — and if any moisture is left behind, mold follows within days. Here's what makes COS Water Damage Restoration the right call in Hickory Corners.
You can't dry what you haven't found. Thermal imaging is how we find it.
Our Hickory Corners burst pipe response crew targets arrival in 60 minutes or less from your call. Burst pipe water is Category 1 — clean water from the supply side of your plumbing — which gives us a short window to extract and dry before it degrades into Category 2. Speed of arrival is the single biggest driver of total damage scope and total project cost.
Our Hickory Corners team arrives, secures the water source (shutting the main if necessary), and directly coordinates with a licensed plumber to complete the pipe repair before cleanup begins. We've established working relationships with licensed plumbing contractors across Hickory Corners and MI — so you're not trying to find a plumber at 2am while water is still running.
Burst pipe claims in Hickory Corners require moisture mapping data, pre-drying and post-drying readings, Xactimate line-item scopes, and photo documentation. Our Hickory Corners team builds this file from the first tool we pick up — so when your adjuster requests documentation, everything they need is already prepared and formatted to their carrier's standard.
From the moment we arrive at your Hickory Corners property, COS Water Damage Restoration manages the complete scope of burst pipe recovery — source control, extraction, wall cavity access, structural drying, and rebuild. Every phase under one crew, one scope, one invoice.
Time spent searching for the shutoff valve is time the water runs. We know this.
Complete extraction cuts drying time significantly and reduces the risk of secondary damage.
Without moisture mapping, drying programs are guesswork. With it, they're calibrated.
Wall cavity drying is where most burst pipe jobs either succeed completely or fail at the last 10%.
Burst pipe damage is typically a covered peril under standard homeowner's policies in MI, provided it was sudden and accidental — as opposed to slow leak damage, which most carriers exclude. Our Hickory Corners claim coordinators know the language and documentation requirements that lead to approved scopes and know how to document the event timeline in a way that clearly supports the sudden-loss language most policies require. We file the claim, coordinate the adjuster, and follow the settlement through to completion.
Once every structural assembly has been confirmed dry by instrument reading, our licensed Hickory Corners reconstruction team rebuilds: drywall replacement and finish, fresh paint, flooring reinstallation, baseboard and trim, and any cabinetry affected by the pipe location. If the pipe burst behind cabinetry, we coordinate cabinet reinstallation after the repair is complete. All reconstruction work uses the same Xactimate line-item format as the mitigation scope — so your insurer sees one integrated claim file, not separate invoices from separate contractors.


Live dispatch. Immediate crew deployment. ETA confirmed during your call.
Arrival to source secured to extraction started — our Hickory Corners crew moves through these steps as a single continuous sequence, not staged phases.
After moisture mapping is complete, our Hickory Corners project manager prepares a written, Xactimate-based scope covering extraction, material removal, wall cavity drying, equipment staging, and reconstruction. You review the scope before any equipment is deployed or material is removed. If the adjuster is involved, our coordinator files the claim the same day.
Daily updates, documented readings, final walkthrough with you — every time.



"The morning we found a burst pipe in our Hickory Corners home, I was convinced we were looking at months of repair. COS Water Damage Restoration changed that. Their crew arrived fast, found water I didn't know existed using their thermal camera, and coordinated everything — plumber, insurance, reconstruction — under one project. We were back to normal faster than I thought was possible."
"What impressed me most was the moisture mapping session. Our burst pipe was in the second-floor bathroom, and COS Water Damage Restoration's tech found water in the wall cavity adjacent to the pipe, inside the ceiling of the first floor below, and along a wall run in the living room — none of which had any visible surface water. They set up drying for all of it, hit it with daily readings, and everything came back confirmed dry before reconstruction started. That level of thoroughness is exactly what you want from a company doing this type of work."
"Three years after our Hickory Corners burst pipe incident handled by COS Water Damage Restoration, there has been no mold, no musty odor, and no re-emergence of moisture. They dried it correctly the first time. That's ultimately what you're paying for."
