Comprehensive Cabinet Water Damage Repair Services
Cabinet Leak Cleanup Restoration
After a leak from a drain, the cabinet interior is cleaned and disinfected before drying, since drain water can carry bacteria.
Emergency Cabinet Drying Response
Emergency response starts with shutting off the water, emptying the cabinets and extracting water from the bases and floor.
Wet Cabinet Drying Services
Drying continues until the cabinet box, the subfloor beneath it and the wall behind it all read normal.
Swollen Cabinet Door Repair
Swollen doors that no longer close are removed during drying, which also lets air into the cabinet box.
Cabinet Mold Prevention Treatment
After drying, cabinet bases and the wall behind them can be treated with an antimicrobial where they stayed wet for days.
Warning Signs You Need Cabinet Water Damage Repair
Swollen Cabinet Doors
Doors that swell, stick or no longer close properly have absorbed water along their edges.

Frequent Causes of Cabinet Leaks
Flooding From Other Sources
A flooded floor from any source soaks the bottom of every cabinet it reaches.
Poor Sealant or Caulking
Worn caulk between the countertop, sink and backsplash lets water seep into the cabinet below.
Fixture Overflow or Splash
Water splashing or overflowing from the sink runs down the cabinet front and into the base.
High Humidity Environments
Kitchens and bathrooms with poor ventilation keep cabinets damp, which slowly damages the wood.
