Kitchen damage we restore in Geneva
Kitchens take more damage than any other room: dishwashers and sinks leak, steam and slow drips feed mold, and most house fires start at the stove. In Geneva we handle all three, from the first cleanup through new cabinets and flooring.
Mold that returns after cleaning
Bleach and sprays don't stop recurring mold. Finding the moisture source does.
Kitchen Mold Remediation →Smoke odor after a fire
Smoke smell stays in drywall, cabinet interiors and duct runs. We remove the residue, then treat the odor and seal surfaces.
Kitchen Fire & Smoke Restoration →Burst supply or fridge line
A failed supply hose or ice maker line can soak a kitchen fast or slowly over months. We fix the line, pull out the water and dry the floor, walls and cabinets.
Kitchen Water Damage Restoration →Swollen cabinets or lifting floor after a leak
Puffed-up cabinet bottoms and cupped or loose flooring mean water got underneath. We dry the base and replace the parts that won't recover.
Kitchen Water Damage Restoration →Soot on ceilings and cabinets
Soot collects high in the room. Cleaning it the wrong way pushes it into the surface, so we start dry.
Kitchen Fire & Smoke Restoration →Musty smell in the kitchen
If you smell mustiness but see nothing, check the usual spots: under the sink, behind the dishwasher and fridge. We do that systematically.
Kitchen Mold Remediation →Burned cabinets or range hood
Heat-damaged cabinets and hoods come out; neighboring cabinets with only soot are cleaned.

Mitigation stops more damage: extraction, drying, containment, cleaning. Restoration repairs what was damaged: drywall, cabinets, floors.
Do you also do the rebuild?
Yes, the kitchen is put back together by us.
What does kitchen damage restoration include?
Stopping the cause, cleanup (drying, mold removal or soot cleaning), removing damaged materials, documentation and rebuilding the kitchen.
How do I choose a restoration company?
Ask how they find hidden moisture, how they document for insurance, whether they rebuild themselves and what's in the written estimate.
What should I do if I have a kitchen fire?
General safety tip: lid on, burner off, no water on grease. Call 911 if it doesn't go out right away.
