Kitchen damage we restore in Mount Prospect
Something went wrong in the kitchen and you need it handled properly, not just wiped up. Our Mount Prospect crew dries water damage with measured readings, removes mold under containment and cleans soot and smoke odor, then rebuilds what had to come out.
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 →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 →Mold that returns after cleaning
Returning mold is a moisture problem. We solve that first, then remove the growth.
Kitchen Mold Remediation →Mold behind appliances or in a wall
Mold inside a wall cavity is handled by removing the drywall and insulation it grew on and cleaning the framing.
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 →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 →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.

DetailMount Prospect kitchen, 1990s two-story colonial: kitchen damage restoration
This one is a 1990s two-story colonial in Mount Prospect. What we started with: 12-inch beige ceramic tile and golden-oak cabinets with oak soffits above. The main complaint was a wood floor that cupped after a leak. The result: the kitchen floor and lower cabinets restored after drying, with new flooring and new toe kicks. On site this meant assessment and photos, water extraction and drying, plus mold containment and removal.

Do you work with insurance companies?
