Can Kitchen Water Damage Restoration in Nampa Be Complete Without Checking Under Cabinets?

When a leak springs in your kitchen, SERVPRO is the team to call. Water damage restoration is a job for us. Call now!

Proven Strategies to Release Water Trapped in your Nampa Kitchen to Avoid Odors or Additional Damage is Why SERVPRO is your Water Damage, Remediation Partner. 

Pipes and hoses linked to supply and waste lines threaded through and behind built-in cabinets can require clever tactics for water damage restoration in Nampa kitchens. Perhaps the piping to an ice maker or hoses between the dishwasher and the under-sink plumbing develop leaks. Water then saturates cabinets and collects underneath, sometimes without anyone immediately noticing the excess water.   

Should a Nampa Homeowner Wait for Hidden Water to Drain Away or Evaporate Naturally?

Water is exceptionally corrosive to structural components, which is why SERVPRO does not recommend a wait-and-see strategy to manage residual moisture after burst pipes. Ignoring water puddled under appliances or shelving or collected behind walls permits it to soak into building materials and cause deterioration. Black mold growth is a possibility if 24 to 48 hours pass without water removal and moisture reduction. 

How Do Trained Technicians Approach Hidden Water Damage Emergency Services?

Our Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC-trained crews are familiar with kitchen plumbing problems, using restoration industry best practices to make moisture issues in Nampa “Like it never even happened.” Prying off toe kicks reveals the under-cabinet cavities where the water lurks. Our technicians then:

  • Use commercial-grade extractors to suction the standing water 
  • Position low profile air movers to facilitate evaporation 
  • Place and monitor dehumidifiers until the cabinet moisture levels return to normal.  

Training and experience are why SERVPRO of Nampa / Caldwell delivers successful outcomes when you need hidden water damage repairs. Call (208) 466-5000 for assessment and advice.
