Arlington Residents Trust SERVPRO for Water Restoration

When the need for water restoration happens in Arlington homes, the two rooms SERVPRO technicians find themselves working on the most are kitchens and bathrooms. This is due largely to the amount of plumbing and appliances connected to water supplies in these areas of the house.

SERVPRO techs deal with multiple challenges during water damage cleanup in Arlington properties when focusing on the kitchen. Areas that need extra attention during the mitigation service include:

• Behind cabinets
• Walls and baseboards
• Behind appliances 
• Under flooring

Water Removal Behind Cabinets

In the case of a supply line leak or appliance failure, it is not uncommon for SERVPRO techs to remove toe kicks under the cabinets during water extraction. When necessary, technicians can remove the cabinets to ensure that the walls are dried completely. There is never guesswork with this aspect of the water restoration service. The technicians use various types of moisture detection equipment and visual inspection to determine the presence of water vapor. Moisture that gets left behind can create costly issues, including deteriorating the walls behind the cabinets and encouraging mold growth under the right conditions.

Help for Walls and Baseboards with Water Damage

The outcome of walls post-water spill in a kitchen can range from simple drying to the need to remove the damaged portion using flood cuts. This action is common and works to open the wall cavity for extraction and drying.
