Detailed Cabinet Water Damage Repair Solutions
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.
Discolored Cabinet Finish Restoration
Finish work comes after the cabinet is fully dry, so new finish is not applied over damp wood.
Emergency Cabinet Drying Response
Emergency response starts with shutting off the water, emptying the cabinets and extracting water from the bases and floor.
Swollen Cabinet Door Repair
Swollen doors that no longer close are removed during drying, which also lets air into the cabinet box.
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.

Water soaking into the wood or finish leaves white, gray or dark marks, depending on how long it sat.
