When a pipe fails inside your Fords 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 Fords.
You can't dry what you haven't found. Thermal imaging is how we find it.
Our Fords 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.
The pipe gets fixed. Then the cleanup begins. We handle the coordination.
Accurate documentation from day one leads to faster claim settlements and fewer supplemental disputes.
From the moment we arrive at your Fords 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.
After source control, high-volume extraction removes the standing water and saturated surface materials as fast as possible. Our Fords burst pipe crew uses truck-mounted extraction systems for high-volume situations and portable extractors for confined spaces. After visible water is removed, we run weighted carpet wands, floor squeegees, and cavity extraction on wall framing to pull as much residual moisture as possible before structural drying equipment is staged. The more you extract, the faster and more complete the structural drying cycle.
FLIR thermal cameras and calibrated pin-type and non-penetrating moisture meters map the full extent of water migration through your Fords property's structural assemblies. Burst pipe water moves through wall cavities and floor systems rapidly and can saturate framing far from the visible wet surface. Our Fords moisture mapping creates a documented baseline — showing exactly where the water went, how saturated it is, and how far from the rupture point the damage extends. This map drives the drying scope and the insurance documentation.
Wall cavity drying is where most burst pipe jobs either succeed completely or fail at the last 10%.
Insurance complexity is handled by our team, not handed off to you.
Once every structural assembly has been confirmed dry by instrument reading, our licensed Fords 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 Fords crew moves through these steps as a single continuous sequence, not staged phases.
After moisture mapping is complete, our Fords 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.
Structural drying runs under daily monitoring until every assembly hits its EMC target. Reconstruction follows. A final walkthrough with your project manager confirms everything is complete to the standard described in your written scope. Written satisfaction guarantee included on every Fords job.



"The morning we found a burst pipe in our Fords 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 Fords 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."
