Do Your Cabinets Need Water Damage Repair?

A kitchen or bathroom that stays humid can keep cabinets damp even without a direct leak.

Peeling Laminate or Veneer

Laminate or veneer that lifts, bubbles or peels has water underneath it.

Gradual Moisture Migration

Small, ongoing leaks let moisture spread through the cabinet base and subfloor over time.

Appliance Malfunctions

Dishwasher hoses, refrigerator water lines and their fittings leak under nearby cabinets.

Poor Sealant or Caulking

Worn caulk between the countertop, sink and backsplash lets water seep into the cabinet below.

Structural Leaks From Above
