Kitchen damage we restore in Glen Ellyn
Something went wrong in the kitchen and you need it handled properly, not just wiped up. Our Glen Ellyn crew dries water damage with measured readings, removes mold under containment and cleans soot and smoke odor, then rebuilds what had to come out.
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 →Swollen cabinets or lifting floor after a leak
When cabinet panels swell or floorboards lift, the subfloor is probably wet too. We check and dry it before replacing anything.
Kitchen Water Damage 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 →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 →Burned cabinets or range hood
We replace what burned and keep what can be cleaned.
Kitchen Fire & Smoke Restoration →Stovetop grease fire
After a stovetop fire, we separate burned materials from soot-covered ones and handle each.
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.

DetailA Glen Ellyn two-story colonial from the 1990s: before and after
The site: a two-story colonial from the 1990s in Glen Ellyn. Before: oak parquet and white thermofoil cabinets peeling at the edges, oak trim. The main complaint was a wood floor that cupped after a leak. Finished kitchen: the kitchen floor and lower cabinets restored after drying, with new flooring and new toe kicks.
