What Kitchen Water Damage Water Cleanup Includes in Shepherd
A Shepherd crew uses meters during kitchen water damage water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
A sink supply, dishwasher, refrigerator connection or overhead leak can soak cabinet bases, toe kicks, flooring and wallboard. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.
A blocked drain may need a plumbing contractor. Sewage cleanup also needs protective handling, removal of contaminated porous materials and surface cleaning.

- Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
- Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
- Photograph cabinet bases before moving affected items.
- Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
- Move dry valuables out of the path without walking through water.
