A kitchen water damage can happen to anyone at any time. The sink backs up and overflows, the dishwasher leaks, a water line bursts, etc. Unfortunately, many homeowners ignore the sometimes small amounts of water, believing that simply letting it dry will take care of everything. The truth is you will never know the full extent of the damage that can affect the underlying surfaces, unless you have it inspected by a certified water damage restoration company, like CBC Cleaning and Restoration.
In some cases, water damage can be caused by the apartment above you, should the owner be gone and accidently leave the water dripping or running. Water moves thoroughly into every nook and cranny through walls and down adjoining structure into lower units or other floors of a home. If this happens to you, be sure to call a professional because the extent of damage can be enormous if mold begins to grow or structure is compromised. A CBC certified technician will do a full inspection at no charge to know what steps must be taken to dry-down and restore your property.
