Complete Cabinet Water Damage Repair Offerings
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.
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
Once dry, doors that kept their shape can be adjusted and rehung. Doors that stayed warped need replacing.
Discolored Cabinet Finish Restoration
Finish work comes after the cabinet is fully dry, so new finish is not applied over damp wood.
Wood Cabinet Water Damage Repair
Solid wood cabinets that got wet can often be dried slowly and kept. Drying too fast can crack or warp the wood, so it is done gradually.

Doors that swell, stick or no longer close properly have absorbed water along their edges.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cabinet Water Damage Repair
Is kitchen cabinet water extraction always necessary?
If water is standing in the base or under the toe kick, yes. A small damp spot may only need drying.
What tools are used for cabinet water extraction?
Wet vacs, small extractors, air movers that push air under cabinets, dehumidifiers and moisture meters.
How is cabinet leak cleanup different from general drying?
It focuses on cabinet bases, toe kick areas and the wall and subfloor behind them, which normal room drying misses.
How are water damaged wood cabinets dried?
Gradually, with dehumidifiers and directed airflow, so the wood dries evenly without cracking or warping.
What does discolored cabinet restoration involve?
Cleaning or touching up light stains after drying, or refinishing panels with deeper damage once the wood is dry.
