Kitchen damage we restore in Glenview
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 Glenview we handle all three, from the first cleanup through new cabinets and flooring.
Dishwasher or sink leak
When the floor by the dishwasher or the sink base is wet, we stop the leak and dry everything it reached.
Kitchen Water Damage 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 →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 →Ceiling stain below the kitchen
A stain on the ceiling below the kitchen points to water above. We trace it and dry the space between floors.
Kitchen Water Damage Restoration →Mold under the sink
Mold in the sink cabinet is almost always caused by a drip. We remove the moldy particleboard and clean what's behind it.
Kitchen Mold Remediation →Mold that returns after cleaning
Returning mold is a moisture problem. We solve that first, then remove the growth.
Kitchen Mold Remediation →Stovetop grease fire
A pan fire can char the cabinets and hood above the range and coat the room in greasy soot. We replace what burned and clean the rest.

Kitchen Damage Restoration questions from Glenview homeowners
Do you also do the rebuild?
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?
Mold needs moisture. Proper drying after a leak stops it from starting.
How do I choose a restoration company?
Ask about their methods, who does the work and how they handle your insurer. We'll answer all three.
What should I do immediately after kitchen water damage?
Shut off the water at the fixture or main, cut power to wet appliances, take photos and call us. Don't assume it's dry because the surface looks dry.
What's the difference between mitigation and restoration?
First you stop it getting worse, then you fix it. We do both.
