Job completed for Kelly R. - Roxbury, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 9, 2025

Location: Roxbury, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Kelly R. discovered water damage in the kitchen of her Roxbury, NJ home after a leaking dishwasher soaked the surrounding tile floor and lower cabinets. The supply line had loosened beneath the appliance, allowing water to pool unnoticed beneath the unit and seep into adjacent cabinetry. Our water damage restoration team responded promptly, beginning with water extraction from the tile surface and moisture detection beneath the cabinetry. Although tile helped minimize surface damage, water had penetrated into the subfloor and the base of several kitchen cabinets, requiring partial demolition and structural drying.

In Roxbury, NJ, dishwasher leaks are a common cause of kitchen water damage, especially when hidden leaks affect cabinet bases and underlayment. Our team used high-powered drying equipment to dry out the affected structural materials and applied antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold growth in the damp cabinet interiors. Several water-damaged cabinets were removed and documented for the homeowner’s water damage insurance claim, which was approved for full restoration coverage. Water damage restoration in Roxbury often involves careful mitigation in kitchens with tile flooring and built-in cabinetry. This Roxbury, NJ job highlights the importance of immediate professional response to appliance-related leaks to prevent deeper structural issues.
