A braided supply line failed overnight and soaked the cabinet base, subfloor, and 4 feet of drywall in a 1950s South El Monte kitchen. The cabinet box was soft to the touch and the baseboard had started to swell.
We extracted the standing water, ran injection drying on the cabinet box, and set a floor drying mat on the subfloor. The kitchen hit dry standard in 36 hours. We replaced the base panel, baseboard, and drywall, and the repair matched the original finish.
A slab leak pushed water up through the kitchen tile for an estimated two weeks before the baseboard swelled. Moisture readings showed the subfloor was saturated across a 6-foot by 8-foot area, and there was a musty smell near the wall.
We extracted, dried the subfloor over three days, and applied antimicrobial spray to the framing. A licensed plumber fixed the slab line, and we replaced the tile, grout, and baseboard. Final hygrometer readings confirmed dry standard before we closed it up.
A dishwasher supply line leaked behind two units in a fourplex near Downtown South El Monte. Water ran along the cabinet back and into the shared wall, and both kitchens had soft cabinet bases and damp drywall.
