When water gets in, the damage clock starts immediately. COS Water Damage Restoration's Hickory Emergency Water Removal crew carries professional-grade extraction systems to every job, arriving fast and working fast to limit the scope of what gets damaged.
Speed and completeness are what separate a manageable water event from a months-long rebuilding project. Here's how COS Water Damage Restoration delivers both in Hickory.
Your water removal response time is directly determined by where the crew is based. Ours is based in Hickory.
We don't turn jobs away based on contamination category. Our Hickory crew handles Cat 1 through Cat 3 with the proper protocols for each.
No surprise billing after the fact — your written estimate is your price, period.
We document everything at the extraction phase — before conditions change and evidence is lost.
Every Emergency Water Removal scenario requires the right equipment, the right technique, and the right team. Here's what we handle in Hickory.
Rapid volume removal at this stage prevents saturation from reaching framing and subfloor materials.
Pipe failures in Hickory properties — whether from freeze-thaw cycles, corrosion, or pressure failure — release clean or lightly contaminated water rapidly into wall assemblies and floor cavities. Our Hickory crews arrive with injection drying adapters specifically for pipe-failure scenarios where water has traveled behind drywall before it reached the floor.
Basement and crawlspace flooding in Hickory requires submersible and portable extraction systems capable of working in low-clearance and confined environments. Our crews carry the right equipment for each scenario — including high-capacity submersible pumps for deep standing water and portable extractors for post-pump residual water in below-grade spaces.
We never use standard extraction equipment on contaminated water events — cross-contamination risk is real, and proper equipment matters.
Our Hickory crew extracts surface water and immediately transitions to moisture detection to catch sub-surface migration before drying equipment placement.
Water events in Hickory commercial properties carry additional complexity: larger square footages, infrastructure like server rooms and electrical panels, business interruption risk, and tenant notification requirements. Our commercial Emergency Water Removal team in Hickory deploys at scale — multiple extraction units, larger crew sizes, after-hours scheduling to minimize disruption — and maintains a dedicated project manager for commercial loss communication.


Every call connects to a real person who starts your Hickory response before you hang up.
Local crew, local knowledge, and fast roads — your Hickory response is as fast as it can be.
No equipment gets placed without your written approval of the scope and cost.
Extraction continues until standing water is completely eliminated and surface moisture is at levels appropriate for structural drying handoff. Our crew immediately stages dehumidifiers and air movers to begin the drying phase — preventing the 24-48 hour mold risk window from opening.



"A pipe burst in our Hickory home's basement at 11 p.m. on a Saturday. I was bracing for a long night of being on hold. COS Water Damage Restoration answered on the second ring, had a crew at my door in 52 minutes, and the standing water was completely out before 2 a.m. They stayed to set up the drying equipment and I woke up to a dehumidifier running and a dry basement floor. Absolutely excellent."
"A sump pump failure let in about 4 inches of water across our entire finished basement in Hickory. I found it at 6 a.m. on a Monday. COS Water Damage Restoration was on site by 7:15, had the water out by 10, and the drying equipment running before I left for work. The moisture mapping showed water under our LVP flooring that would have become a mold problem if we hadn't caught it. Grateful for the thoroughness."
"Three different companies told me they could help with our Hickory storm flooding. Only COS Water Damage Restoration showed up with a truck-mounted extraction unit instead of a few shop vacs. The difference in output was enormous — they pulled the water out in a fraction of the time I expected. Highly recommend calling them first."
