Kitchen damage we restore in Plainfield
Water, mold and fire damage each need different work, and they often overlap: a leak that wasn't dried turns into mold, and firefighting leaves water behind. We restore Plainfield kitchens from start to finish so you deal with one contractor.
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 →Stovetop grease fire
Grease fires leave sticky residue that regular cleaning smears. We clean it with the right methods and rebuild the stove wall.
Kitchen Fire & Smoke Restoration →Ceiling stain below the kitchen
We check from both sides when water from the kitchen shows up on the ceiling below.
Kitchen Water Damage Restoration →Mold behind appliances or in a wall
Hidden growth behind appliances is common after slow leaks. We open it up under containment and rebuild.
Kitchen Mold Remediation →Mold that returns after cleaning
If it keeps coming back, the moisture is still there or the growth is inside the material. We fix the cause and remove what's affected.
Kitchen Mold Remediation →Burned cabinets or range hood
Heat-damaged cabinets and hoods come out; neighboring cabinets with only soot are cleaned.
Kitchen Fire & Smoke 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.
