Wood Cabinet Water Damage Repair
Wood face frames and doors are checked for swelling and joint damage after drying, and what can be kept is noted for refinishing.
Kitchen Cabinet Water Extraction
Kitchen cabinets hide water underneath. Toe kicks are often removed so water trapped between the cabinet and the subfloor can be extracted.
Cabinet Leak Cleanup Restoration
A leak under a sink or behind a dishwasher is traced to the fitting or hose that failed, and the cabinet is cleaned and dried.
Swollen Cabinet Door Repair
Particleboard doors and shelves that swelled usually do not shrink back, so they are noted for replacement. Solid wood doors may flatten as they dry.
Cabinet Mold Prevention Treatment
Treatment is applied to clean, dry surfaces, and the leak source is fixed so the cabinet does not get wet again.
