A burst pipe in Rice can release thousands of gallons of water before it's discovered — saturating walls, subfloor assemblies, ceiling cavities, and cabinetry within hours. COS Water Damage Restoration's Rice burst pipe team responds fast, locates the source, coordinates the repair, and drives the full cleanup and drying process from the moment we arrive to the final walkthrough.
Burst Pipe Cleanup in Rice requires getting into the structural assemblies where the water went, not just cleaning up what's visible on the surface. Our equipment and protocols are built for what you can't see.
Burst pipe water in Rice properties follows the path of least resistance through wall framing, floor assemblies, and ceiling cavities — appearing on the surface far from the rupture point. Our FLIR thermal cameras trace moisture migration through structural assemblies, ensuring we find every saturated area before drying equipment is staged. Drying a room without mapping it first means leaving wet assemblies behind walls that will grow mold within 48-72 hours.
Our Rice 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 Rice 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 Rice and TX — so you're not trying to find a plumber at 2am while water is still running.
Burst pipe claims in Rice require moisture mapping data, pre-drying and post-drying readings, Xactimate line-item scopes, and photo documentation. Our Rice 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.
Here's the full scope of what our Rice Burst Pipe Cleanup specialists handle on every job.
The first priority when our Rice crew arrives is stopping the water source. If the affected valve or supply line is accessible, we isolate it directly. If the break is inside a wall or in an inaccessible location, we shut the main supply and work with a licensed plumber to locate and repair the rupture before cleanup begins. Stopping the source is not the cleanup company's job in a literal trade sense — but it's absolutely the first 15 minutes of our time on every Rice burst pipe call, and we coordinate it aggressively.
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.
The most common source of post-burst-pipe mold in Rice properties is wet wall cavities that were never properly dried. After moisture mapping confirms the extent of saturation, our Rice drying crew drills access holes at the base of affected walls, inserts directional air nozzles, and drives airflow through the framing cavity behind the drywall. LGR dehumidifiers pull the evaporated moisture out of the air. Daily psychrometric readings track drywall, framing, and subfloor moisture until every assembly reaches its documented equilibrium moisture content target.
Insurance complexity is handled by our team, not handed off to you.
One company, documented from first arrival through final rebuilding.


Call +1-844-499-0972 and a live dispatcher answers, not a phone tree. Your situation is assessed on the call, the nearest available Rice crew is dispatched, and your estimated arrival time is confirmed before you hang up. If you need guidance on locating your main water shutoff while we're en route, our dispatcher can walk you through it.
Arrival to source secured to extraction started — our Rice crew moves through these steps as a single continuous sequence, not staged phases.
After moisture mapping is complete, our Rice 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 Rice 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."
"I've dealt with two burst pipes in Rice properties over the years. The first time I called a general contractor who 'also does water damage' — they dried the surface and called it done. Mold behind the walls within six weeks. This time I called COS Water Damage Restoration specifically, and the difference was obvious from the first hour. They mapped everything with thermal imaging, set up cavity drying through wall access holes in the framing, ran the program for 9 days, and confirmed completion with documented instrument readings. No mold, no callbacks, no surprises."
