No matter when you make the call, we have the equipment and experienced technicians who can assist you.

Bring in SERVPRO to remove water from your Montville kitchen fast.

When the supply line to your fridge spews water or pipe bursts under the sink, it is not unusual to have a large amount of water collect under the cabinets. This is a problematic area to dry properly, and the situation can get compounded, mainly when water is within the wall cavity. Failure to extract and dry the moisture can lead to more costly issues, and that is why outsourcing the cleanup task is a good idea. 

How Do I Replace Sheetrock That Needs Water Damage Restoration Under My Sink?  

If sheetrock shows signs of moisture absorption such as buckling or warping, you need professional water damage restoration in your Montville home. Once water gets wicked into the building materials, it cannot get returned to a state for reuse and requires removal. In a kitchen or bathroom, this may involve SERVPRO technicians performing an action known as controlled demolition which includes:  

• Removal of damaged sheetrock  
• Drilling of weep holes for drainage  
• Pulling cabinets away from the wall to open it up  
• Removal of delaminated flooring under the cabinets

When SERVPRO techs need to remove installations such as cabinetry, you may feel your kitchen will never get returned to normal. However, once the techs complete the water extraction and drying phase of mitigation and verify it with their monitoring equipment, the actual restoration begins. With their general contractor license #13VH06046200, the techs have the experience and skill to repair and rebuild any part of the loss area, including proactive mold treatments and odor control. 

SERVPRO of East Central Morris County at (973) 887-9100 is available 24/7 for any size needed water damage restoration services. The techs can extract, dry, and repair the loss to your home and bring it back to its preloss condition, "Like it never even happened.
