When water damage hits your home or business in Rice, you need a local crew that can actually show up fast — not a call center routing your emergency to a contractor two hours away. COS Water Damage Restoration's Rice-based Water Damage Repair teams are on standby 24/7 with equipment staged and crews briefed.
Local Rice crews on standby — not dispatched from out of the area.
Every technician holds current WRT certification — the industry standard.
Written estimate in your hands before any work begins.
Works with all major MN insurers.
COS Water Damage Restoration's Rice team isn't a remote dispatch forwarding your call to whoever happens to be available — we maintain a dedicated local operation in Rice with crew members who live and work in the community, understand the local building stock, and know the fastest routes to your neighborhood at any hour.
Every technician who arrives at your Rice property carries current IICRC WRT (Water Damage Restoration Technician) certification, a background-check clearance, and familiarity with the specific materials and construction methods common in Rice's housing stock.
COS Water Damage Restoration has earned the trust of Rice homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial facility owners because we consistently do what we say we'll do: we arrive when we say we'll arrive, we provide the estimate we quoted, we complete the documentation we promised, and we stand behind the work with a written satisfaction guarantee.

Our integrated service model means Rice property owners have one phone number, one point of contact, and one company responsible for the outcome from start to finish.
Our truck-mounted extraction systems can pull high volumes of water in a fraction of the time it would take with consumer-grade equipment — getting the visible water out fast while our moisture detection team maps the water you can't see yet. Rice's Water Damage Repair emergency calls include everything from clean water supply line failures to contaminated sewage backflows, and our crews are trained and equipped for every category of water damage — with the right PPE, containment protocols, and extraction methods for each situation.
Our residential restoration teams in Rice are experienced across the full range of home types found in the area — older homes with original hardwood and plaster, newer construction with engineered materials and finished basements, and everything in between. Our moisture mapping process identifies every area where water has penetrated — not just what's visible on the surface, but the moisture inside wall assemblies, under flooring systems, and in ceiling cavities — so that the drying plan we build addresses the complete scope of moisture, not just the obvious puddles.
Water damage to a commercial property in Rice isn't just a property issue — it's a business interruption event that starts costing revenue from the moment the damage begins. Our Rice commercial team has experience with office buildings, multi-tenant retail spaces, restaurants and hospitality properties, warehouses and light industrial facilities, medical and professional offices, and multi-family residential properties.
Many Rice homeowners discover mold weeks or months after a water event that they thought had been fully addressed, because invisible moisture remained in wall cavities, beneath flooring, or in attic insulation after a surface-only cleanup. HEPA filtration, containment barriers, negative air pressure, and proper PPE are standard on every Rice mold remediation job — protecting your household members and our crews from exposure to dislodged spores during the removal process.
Building new drywall or flooring over materials that are still holding excess moisture leads to cracking, warping, fastener failure, paint peeling, and eventually mold growth — which is why our Rice drying crews take measurement seriously and don't sign off on a project until the numbers confirm completion. We deploy industrial LGR dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers in a calculated configuration based on the square footage, material types, and psychrometric conditions specific to your Rice property — not a one-size-fits-all equipment drop.
Rice property owners dealing with water damage face two simultaneous challenges: the physical restoration of their property, and the administrative challenge of filing and navigating an insurance claim. If your adjuster's initial settlement offer doesn't fully account for the documented scope of loss, we prepare and file a supplement with supporting evidence — a step that many homeowners don't know they can take and that frequently results in additional covered compensation.

Here's exactly what happens when you call COS Water Damage Restoration for water damage in Rice, from the moment the phone rings to the day we hand your property back.
You call +1-844-499-0972 and a live Rice dispatcher answers — no voicemail, no call tree, no waiting on hold during your emergency.
Thermal imaging cameras reveal moisture in wall assemblies and under flooring that isn't yet visible on the surface — giving us a complete picture of the damage before we build the response plan.
With the scope confirmed and your approval in hand, extraction begins immediately using the highest-capacity equipment appropriate for the situation.
Equipment stays until documented readings confirm completion — not until a certain number of days has passed.
Antimicrobial treatment is applied to all moisture-exposed surfaces as a standard preventive step — stopping mold colonization before it can take hold in your Rice property's structural assemblies.
The final walkthrough is conducted with you personally, confirming satisfaction with every element before we close out the job and hand you your warranty documentation.
COS Water Damage Restoration's Rice-based crews bring none of those disadvantages — our technicians know Rice, work in Rice's neighborhoods regularly, understand the construction patterns and material choices common in different parts of the city, and are invested in the reputation we've built here job by job.
Older Rice homes with original hardwood flooring, plaster walls, and basement moisture histories require different drying strategies than newer builds with engineered hardwood, drywall, and open-plan floor plans that allow air movement differently.
Whether it's the spring flooding pattern, the summer storm profile, or the winter freeze-thaw cycle that affects Rice's plumbing, we approach Rice jobs with an awareness of local conditions that an out-of-area contractor simply can't replicate.
Water damage restoration costs in Rice vary based on several factors: the volume of water, the category of water (clean vs. contaminated), the materials affected, the square footage involved, and the extent of mold risk. Most residential water damage events in Rice fall within a range that homeowner insurance covers significantly, which is why our insurance coordination service is so valuable — we help make sure your policy pays what it should so your out-of-pocket is minimal. Call +1-844-499-0972 for a free on-site estimate with no obligation to proceed — we'll give you a clear picture of scope and cost before you commit to anything.
Our Rice dispatcher will ask you a few quick questions to characterize the situation, tell you what to do (and what not to do) while our crew is in transit, and give you an honest arrival estimate so you're not left wondering.

Read what Rice customers consistently say about response time, professionalism, pricing, and results.
"I run a small business in Rice and had a toilet supply line failure on a Sunday night that flooded my office suite and spread into the common hallway. I called COS Water Damage Restoration, who answered immediately, and had a crew at the building in under an hour. They worked through the night to extract the water and set up drying equipment before we opened Monday morning. My employees came in to a building that was functional — inconvenient, but operational. The insurance claim was handled entirely by their coordinator and settled in less than three weeks. I recommend them to every business owner I know in Rice."
"The burst pipe situation in our Rice rental unit was a nightmare — the tenants called me at midnight, the unit was partially flooded, and I had no idea how bad it was. COS Water Damage Restoration's crew was on site before I could even get there myself. By the time I arrived, extraction was underway and the project manager was already walking through the damage assessment with photos. I had a full scope and estimate in my email before 2 a.m. The restoration was completed on schedule, within the estimated cost, and my tenant was back in the unit within two weeks. Outstanding."
"Mold found during the renovation of our Rice home led us to COS Water Damage Restoration for remediation. The discovery was stressful — we didn't know how extensive it was or what it meant for the timeline of our project. The COS Water Damage Restoration team came in, assessed it thoroughly, explained exactly what they found and what the IICRC-compliant remediation process looked like, and completed the job on time. The post-remediation air testing came back clear, the report they provided satisfied our contractor and our insurer, and we were back on schedule within a week. Professional from beginning to end."
