Kitchen damage we restore in Glendale Heights
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 Glendale Heights we handle all three, from the first cleanup through new cabinets and flooring.
Smoke odor after a fire
Lingering odor is treated after a full cleaning of every affected surface.
Kitchen Fire & Smoke Restoration →Swollen cabinets or lifting floor after a leak
Swollen particleboard and buckled flooring are typical after a leak. Some can be saved; we tell you which.
Kitchen Water Damage Restoration →Soot on ceilings and cabinets
Black film spreading across the ceiling and upper cabinets is soot. We dry-clean it first, then seal and paint.
Kitchen Fire & Smoke Restoration →Burned cabinets or range hood
We replace what burned and keep what can be cleaned.
Kitchen Fire & Smoke Restoration →Musty smell in the kitchen
Odor without visible mold usually means it's somewhere you can't see. We locate it before opening anything.
Kitchen Mold Remediation →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
After a stovetop fire, we separate burned materials from soot-covered ones and handle each.
