Kitchen damage we restore in Des Plaines
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 Des Plaines kitchens from start to finish so you deal with one contractor.
Ceiling stain below the kitchen
Brown rings downstairs usually mean the kitchen floor leaked through. We open and dry the cavity if needed.
Kitchen Water Damage 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 →Mold that returns after cleaning
Returning mold is a moisture problem. We solve that first, then remove the growth.
Kitchen Mold Remediation →Burned cabinets or range hood
Charred cabinets and a damaged hood are replaced, and new pieces are matched to the rest of the kitchen.
Kitchen Fire & Smoke Restoration →Mold behind appliances or in a wall
Hidden growth behind appliances is common after slow leaks. We open it up under containment and rebuild.
Kitchen Mold Remediation →Stovetop grease fire
After a stovetop fire, we separate burned materials from soot-covered ones and handle each.
Kitchen Fire & Smoke Restoration →Mold under the sink
The sink base is where kitchen mold shows up most. We stop the moisture and remove the growth.

Yes. We replace cabinets, counters, drywall and flooring after the cleanup, so it's one contractor from start to finish.
Can water damage turn into mold?
It can. That's why we dry and verify with meters rather than only cleaning the surface.

Everything from the first extraction or cleanup to new cabinets, flooring and paint.
