When a pipe fails inside your Bitely 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 Bitely.
You can't dry what you haven't found. Thermal imaging is how we find it.
Our Bitely 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 Bitely 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 Bitely and MI — so you're not trying to find a plumber at 2am while water is still running.
Burst pipe claims in Bitely require moisture mapping data, pre-drying and post-drying readings, Xactimate line-item scopes, and photo documentation. Our Bitely 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 Bitely 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 Bitely 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.
Without moisture mapping, drying programs are guesswork. With it, they're calibrated.
The most common source of post-burst-pipe mold in Bitely properties is wet wall cavities that were never properly dried. After moisture mapping confirms the extent of saturation, our Bitely 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.
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 Bitely 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.
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 Bitely 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.
Our Bitely crew arrives with truck-mounted extraction, FLIR thermal cameras, moisture meters, and drying equipment — configured for burst pipe response from the first roll. We locate and secure the water source immediately, coordinate the plumber if needed, and begin moisture mapping within the first 30 minutes on site.
After moisture mapping is complete, our Bitely 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.



"A pipe in our kitchen wall burst while we were at work and water ran for several hours before a neighbor spotted it. COS Water Damage Restoration arrived in under an hour, shut the water source, had a plumber at the house within 90 minutes of their arrival, and started extraction before the plumber finished the repair. The thermal imaging they did showed water migration we never would have found — all the way down through the subfloor into the crawlspace below. Two weeks later, everything was dry, rebuilt, and our insurance claim was settled. They handled all of it."
"The insurance piece was handled completely by their team. They filed the claim, prepared all the documentation, and dealt with the adjuster directly. Our out-of-pocket cost was exactly our deductible, nothing more. That alone is worth calling COS Water Damage Restoration for."
"Three years after our Bitely 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."
