What is kitchen water damage?
Kitchen water damage usually starts under the sink, behind the dishwasher or at the fridge ice-maker line, then spreads under cabinets where you cannot see it. Restoration means stopping the leak, pulling toe kicks to reach the wet floor beneath, and drying the cabinet bases before particleboard swells for good.
Signs you need this

Garland water damage questions
Can water-damaged kitchen cabinets be saved?
Solid wood boxes often dry fine. Particleboard bottoms that have swelled stay swollen and are usually replaced, sometimes without replacing the whole cabinet.
How do I know if water got under my cabinets?
Look for swelling at the toe kick, lifting floor in front of the cabinets, or a musty smell. A moisture meter or thermal camera confirms it without tearing anything out.
Is a dishwasher leak clean or dirty water?
Drain water from a dishwasher is treated as gray water, which needs cleaning and disinfecting, not just drying.
