Don't Ignore Water Damage in Your Cressona Kitchen--We're Faster To Any Size Disaster--SERVPRO

Restoring Water-Damaged Cabinets in Your Cressona Kitchen

The kitchen area of your home is a network of plumbing and fixtures, each holding back a great deal of pressurized water coming from outside the property. As these components age and degrade, vulnerabilities can occur, which allow this water to begin slowly leaking from connection points and joints. While you can often identify these vulnerabilities before they become devastating incidents, nearby structural elements and cabinetry have likely already become affected by the steady leak.

To restore water damage to the cabinets and other construction elements in your Cressona kitchen, you must first reach out to our rapid response team. Our SERVPRO professionals remain available 24/7 to help mitigate losses like these and prevent the situation from getting worse with our quick arrival with the tools to dry out damaged elements effectively.

Cabinets are often among the first components damaged by a steady leak, as many of the exposed pipes that make up the plumbing in the kitchen get encased within the cabinets and woodwork. Depending on the composition of these components, water damage can saturate and irreparably damage it very quickly as with porous thin woods, laminates with pressed board center, or it might take longer to penetrate and warp the material with firmer construction elements like non-composite options.

What occurs with these cabinets depends on the severity of the damage they have sustained. Our SERVPRO professionals on-site perform a thorough inspection of the damaged elements to determine the viability of restoration versus removal and replacement. We always strive to restore and not replace water-damaged fixtures, structures, and contents. For severely damaged cabinets, replacement might be the only solution. In other situations, the application of equipment like our air movers and LGR dehumidifiers can dry out these damaged elements and preserve them and restore their structural integrity. We can also use an injectidry system to dry the wall cavities with small drill holes behind the cabinets.

While many situations could leave your cabinets in the kitchen water-damaged, you need professional restoration to return the affected area to its original condition, "Like it never even happened." Our SERVPRO of Pottsville water restoration specialists are ready for any emergency that your home faces with the expertise and equipment to make a difference quickly.
