Drying or replacement?

Serving Cleveland and Northeast Ohio

Moisture without obvious damage: Some cabinets may be suitable for drying. The material condition, water source, and access determine the approach.
Swelling, separation, or damaged finishes: Drying does not promise a like-new finish. We explain the limits and which materials may need replacement by a qualified trade.
The original leak: A plumber or appliance professional handles the source repair. We focus on the water-damaged materials.

Common questions

A few things you may be wondering.

Can water-damaged cabinets be dried in place?

Sometimes. The cabinet materials, water source, condition, and access to wet areas determine whether drying in place is appropriate. We assess those conditions first.

Do all of the cabinets need to come out?

Not necessarily. We explain what can remain, where access may be needed, and which damaged materials require removal. We do not promise that every cabinet can be saved.

Will you also check the floor and wall near the cabinets?

Yes. Water can affect adjoining areas. Cleveland Water and Fire Restoration, Inc. includes the accessible surrounding materials in the assessment and drying plan.

Do you repair or install replacement cabinets?

We handle water damage cleanup and drying. Cabinet repair, refinishing, and installation are performed by the appropriate professional trades.
