Water Damage Restoration In Your Dallas Kitchen

Some plumbing leaks in your Dallas home develop in areas which are easily noticeable, like the bathroom floor by the toilet or the area around the faucet. However, other leaks are much less recognizable. One place that is more difficult to see a leak is underneath your kitchen sink. These types of leaks can go unnoticed for a long time, and by then you have a good deal of damage.

You may open your cabinet underneath the kitchen sink in your home several times a day, but never more than a few seconds at a time and a leak is the last thing on your mind. By the time you do discover a leak and water damage in your Dallas home, the cabinet can already have sustained quite a bit of damage, plus there could even be mold growth. SERVPRO is always ready to help you when you discover a water damage emergency with our expertise and professional tools.

There are several plumbing components under your sink which can assist in developing a leak. Your water supply lines and valves are one such culprit. Unlike other parts under the sink, these parts are under pressure at all times. If a connection gets loose or there is a puncture in a water line, water leaks under your sink even when the faucet isn’t on.

Drying walls and floors under or behind cabinetry can sometimes be difficult. Walls behind cabinets can take longer to dry with the different layers of cabinet backing and drywall. If needed, SERVPRO techs may need to drill holes in the cabinet back to allow for air circulation. Forgetting underneath the cabinet, we may need to remove the toe kick and treat it with the appropriate biocide and utilize a vent system so dry air can be forced into the cavity. After the area is dry, we can replace this piece of the cabinet.

Leaks can also develop if you have a handheld sprayer attached to the kitchen sink. The water line for this can crack, and when the leak is low enough on the line, water drips into your cabinet below. Over time, your drain pipes can also develop a leak if they have corroded. Lastly, if the P-trap under your sink becomes clogged, it can cause water to build up to your drains and create a leak.
