Performing Water Cleanup for a Buffalo Grove Kitchen

Kitchens are highly prone to water damage due to the numerous structural components and appliances that have access to water. Whether a pinhole leak in your plumbing saturates drywall and exterior wall insulation or your dishwasher's supply lines soak nearby cabinetry, walls, and flooring, a great deal of care is required to restore your home without secondary damages. Consumer-grade products can address surface-level damage, but may not be enough for long-term water exposure. 

If your Buffalo Grove property needs water cleanup after a kitchen appliance failure, SERVPRO technicians can mitigate damages and restore your home to its preloss condition. SERVPRO's constant availability ensures that you get cleanup and restoration services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Disasters never happen on a convenient schedule, so technicians are always ready to address emergencies quickly and keep losses to a minimum. 

Upgrading Your Dishwasher to Prevent Leaks and Spills

• Hoses. Replace old or damaged hoses, as well as connectors, to increase the lifespan of your dishwasher.
• Leak detection systems. Many modern dishwashers have water sensors around the base and tub to warn you when there are leaks due to an off-balance base or cracked tub. These systems can automatically stop operations to minimize damage.
• Child safety tools. Yes, modern dishwashers even feature child safety locks and push-button panels. These advancements can make it much more challenging for curious children to accidentally soak your kitchen floors when they investigate the dishwasher. 
• Automatic drainage systems. Newer dishwashers often feature another useful measure: automatic drainage when leaks are detected. 

SERVPRO's Effective Extraction

The first step after measuring the amount of moisture on affected surfaces in your kitchen is to extract any loose water with portable extractors, mops, sponges, squeegees, and clean cloths. Extraction is not only necessary to accelerate the drying process, but it can be as much as 500 times more effective than just drying the water with air movers and dehumidifiers. Small holes may be drilled into walls or cabinetry to ventilate these areas during drying.
