Kitchen damage we restore in Wood Dale
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 Wood Dale kitchens from start to finish so you deal with one contractor.
Smoke odor after a fire
If it still smells like smoke, residue is left somewhere. Cleaning and sealing remove it; air fresheners don't.
Kitchen Fire & Smoke Restoration →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 Fire & Smoke 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 →Soot on ceilings and cabinets
Ceilings and cabinet tops catch the smoke. We clean, seal and repaint them.
Kitchen Fire & Smoke 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 →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 →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 Damage Restoration questions from Wood Dale homeowners
How long does restoration take?
It depends on the damage. We separate the cleanup schedule from the rebuild schedule.
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.
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.
What affects the cost of kitchen restoration?
A small leak dried in place costs less than a fire with new cabinets. The scope drives the price, in writing.
What is the Wood Dale building department phone number?
Permits go through Community Development Department (https://my.wooddale.com), phone 630-766-5133. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
