What Kitchen Water Damage Water Cleanup Includes in Skandia

A Skandia 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.

How Kitchen Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Skandia

1. Remove standing water

   For a large indoor pool, the team first lowers the level before addressing saturated finishes.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A thermal camera can point toward cooler damp areas, which technicians confirm with direct readings.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians monitor humidity and material moisture, then record the results for the job file.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
