When a pipe fails inside your Artesia 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.
Burst Pipe Cleanup in Artesia 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.
You can't dry what you haven't found. Thermal imaging is how we find it.
Our Artesia 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.
Here's the full scope of what our Artesia Burst Pipe Cleanup specialists handle on every job.
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.
FLIR thermal cameras and calibrated pin-type and non-penetrating moisture meters map the full extent of water migration through your Artesia 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 Artesia 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.
The most common source of post-burst-pipe mold in Artesia properties is wet wall cavities that were never properly dried. After moisture mapping confirms the extent of saturation, our Artesia 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 NM, provided it was sudden and accidental — as opposed to slow leak damage, which most carriers exclude. Our Artesia 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 Artesia 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.


Call +1-844-499-0972 and a live dispatcher answers, not a phone tree. Your situation is assessed on the call, the nearest available Artesia 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 Artesia 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 Artesia 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 Artesia job.



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