Signs to look for
When to call us for kitchen water cleanup
Room by room, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
A dark line or swelling along the cabinet toe kick
To help your home recover, the toe kick is the lowest, thinnest part of the cabinet and it wicks water first.
You only smell it when you open the sink cabinet door
Room by room, a closed cabinet is a small unventilated box, so odor concentrates inside it.
The end panel next to the dishwasher is swollen or delaminating
To help your home recover, dishwasher leaks exit sideways into the neighboring cabinet panel.
Water appears at the front of the cabinet run only when the dishwasher drains
For a practical next step, that timing points at the drain hose or its connection rather than the supply.
A rust ring or mineral crust on the floor behind the refrigerator
To help your home recover, a refrigerator water line or ice maker line weeps slowly at its fitting.
What happens
How we handle kitchen water cleanup
Our home recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Connection by connection source diagnosis
For a practical next step, we check the dishwasher supply line and drain hose, the refrigerator water line and ice maker line, the sink supplies, the drain and the disposal separately.
Appliances pulled out and the floor behind them read
For a practical next step, the refrigerator and dishwasher come forward so we can see what has been happening behind and under them.
A moisture map of the whole cabinet run and the flooring
For a practical next step, readings run along the cabinet run, into each base, and outward across the floor to the transition strip.
Cabinets emptied and contents handled
Room by room, pots, pantry goods, small appliances and cleaning products come out and get inventoried.
Toe kick opened where the water sits
After you describe the problem, removing the cabinet kick plate gives access to the void under the cabinet, which is the lowest point and the last place to dry.
Cabinet boxes dried from the inside
For a practical next step, air is directed into the sink base cabinet and along the run so the boxes dry from within.

How long the leak ran before it was found
To help your home recover, a dishwasher hose that burst this morning is a drying job.Cabinet construction
For a practical next step, plywood cabinet boxes usually dry in place with airflow inside them.How many cabinets in the run are affected
To help your home recover, water travels along the void under a cabinet run rather than stopping at the leak.Flooring type and whether it comes up
After you describe the problem, tile over a solid deck usually stays.Whether the countertop has to come off
Room by room, removing a base cabinet means dealing with the countertop above it.The appliance repair or replacement
For a practical next step, the water damage work and the appliance itself are separate bills.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
After you describe the problem, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Particleboard cabinet bases swell and never recover
For a practical next step, once a particleboard base has puffed, drying does not restore its shape or strength.
Cabinets are the most expensive room contents in the house
Room by room, a kitchen cabinet run plus a countertop costs more than almost anything else water can reach.
The subfloor under fixed cabinetry cannot dry on its own
After you describe the problem, there is no airflow in the void under a cabinet, so water sits there.
Countertop material underneath fails and takes the top with it
To help your home recover, laminate countertops sit on particleboard material underneath that swells when the sink rim leaks.

Read the explanation

Questions about kitchen water cleanup
How much does kitchen water damage cleanup cost?
Room by room, nationally a clean water appliance failure caught quickly runs $500 to $1,500. To help your home recover, a job with cabinetry involved runs $1,500 to $5,000.
Can my kitchen cabinets be saved?
For a practical next step, often yes. For a practical next step, plywood cabinet boxes usually dry in place once we empty them, open the toe kick and get airflow inside.
Why do you need to open the toe kick?
Room by room, because the void under a cabinet is the lowest point in the room and it has no airflow.
Do the cabinets have to be removed to dry the floor under them?
After you describe the problem, usually not. Room by room, we dry the subfloor through the toe kick access, and from below where there is a basement or crawl space.
To help your home recover, my dishwasher leaked. Do I need a professional?
For a practical next step, it depends where the water went. After you describe the problem, a cup on the tile that you wiped in a minute is fine.
How long does a kitchen take to dry?
Room by room, most kitchens run three to five days. Room by room, enclosed cabinet voids are always the last to reach target.
Will my laminate or vinyl floor survive?
To help your home recover, laminate flooring rarely does, because the core swells at the seams and does not go back.
