Damaged Cabinet Water Removal in Danbury

Professional, Rapid-Response Kitchen Water Damage Cleanup
Some of the most common water damage culprits in Danbury properties are located in the kitchen. Damaged dishwasher gaskets, fridge lines, and minor under-sink plumbing leaks can all lead to floor, wall, and cabinet damage. Worse still, mold growth can start within days of even minor moisture exposure, further reducing comfort.
Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC)-certified SERVPRO® technicians can deploy water removal solutions in Danbury that target damaged areas and prepare the home for repairs where necessary, making the home and its fixtures safe and comfortable once more.
Kitchen Water Damage Inspection and Containment Aid Cleanup
SERVPRO’s preparation methods are essential to rooting out kitchen appliance water damage in full.
- Technicians can inspect cabinets impacted by under-sink leakage and water migration, removing unsalvageable wood or fiberboard where necessary to prepare for repairs.
- Penetrating and non-penetrating moisture measurement tools, including thermo hygrometers and thermal imaging, pinpoint water damage sources inside and behind structures and appliances.
- In homes with large kitchens or open floor plans, technicians may establish sealed containment chambers with polypropylene sheeting to expedite drying and extraction.
Homes with waterlogged drywall, delaminated vinyl flooring, or damaged fiberboard in their kitchen may be advised that replacement is often more cost-effective than repairs to such materials after enduring a certain amount of exposure to water.
SERVPRO’s Comprehensive Water Damage Cleanup Process
Certified water damage restoration technicians typically start cleanup by removing standing water with mops, wet/dry vacuums, squeegees, and portable extraction units. After that, they can:
- Calculate drying goals for the space based on several factors, such as current humidity levels and overall affected surface area.
- Position axial or centrifugal air movers to work with low-grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidification units to pull moisture off surfaces and into the air.
- Additional cleaning with EPA-registered antimicrobial solutions and odor control treatments can eliminate water damage odors and contaminants.
