Kitchen damage we restore in Addison
Water, mold and fire damage each need different work, and they often overlap: a leak that wasn't dried turns into mold, and firefighting leaves water behind. We restore Addison kitchens from start to finish so you deal with one contractor.
Mold under the sink
Spots on the back panel or floor of the sink base mean moisture has been there a while. We fix the leak and replace the affected cabinet parts under containment.
Kitchen Mold Remediation →Stovetop grease fire
Grease fires leave sticky residue that regular cleaning smears. We clean it with the right methods and rebuild the stove wall.
Kitchen Fire & Smoke Restoration →Mold behind appliances or in a wall
Leaks behind the dishwasher or fridge can grow mold on drywall and the subfloor. We pull the appliance, contain the area and remove the affected material.
Kitchen Mold Remediation →Mold that returns after cleaning
If it keeps coming back, the moisture is still there or the growth is inside the material. We fix the cause and remove what's affected.
Kitchen Mold Remediation →Soot on ceilings and cabinets
Ceilings and cabinet tops catch the smoke. We clean, seal and repaint them.
Kitchen Fire & Smoke Restoration →Dishwasher or sink leak
A kitchen leak needs more than a mop. The water we can't see, under cabinets and flooring, is what we dry and check.
Kitchen Water Damage Restoration →Burned cabinets or range hood
We replace what burned and keep what can be cleaned.

Kitchen Damage Restoration questions from Addison homeowners
How long does restoration take?
It depends on the damage. We separate the cleanup schedule from the rebuild schedule.
What should I do if I have a kitchen fire?
Smother a pan fire with a lid, not water. If it spreads, get out and call 911. Call us after it's out.
Can water damage turn into mold?
It can. That's why we dry and verify with meters rather than only cleaning the surface.
What should I do immediately after kitchen water damage?
Turn off the supply, photograph everything and call so we can check under the cabinets and floor.
Do you work with insurance companies?
We document the damage and can work with your adjuster, but your insurer decides what's covered. We're contractors, not public adjusters.
Addison building permit for kitchen restoration: where do I apply?
Permits go through Community Development Department (Building & Zoning), phone (630) 693-7530. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
