A Water Cleanup Becomes Mold Cleanup in Tinley Park

Recently, we dispatched our team at PuroClean Disaster Mitigation to provide water cleanup services in Tinley Park because a water line leak in a refrigerator had caused some flooding in the kitchen. They arrived expecting a standard water cleanup job, but once the crew got to work, a new problem revealed itself: microbial growth under the cabinets.

Our crew quickly got to work in the kitchen. They did not waste any time as the homeowner was a single mother and worked night shifts.

We soon realized that the leak had spread beyond just the refrigerator. We discovered there was water underneath the adjacent cabinets, as well. Upon testing, we saw that there was microbial growth present, meaning mold was beginning to grow.

With plenty of moisture for mold to grow, spores can pose a significant health risk to humans. The leak doused the kitchen floor and the lower cabinets with water, turning the frame into a potential incubator for mold growth. As a result, we ended up removing all of the cabinets in order to dry and clean the floors and framing.

The homeowner was very happy with our technicians’ work, although the project was more than they initially had anticipated. She asked us to proceed with the reconstruction of the kitchen, as well. Our technicians dried, cleaned, and restored the kitchen to finish the job in only 5 days.
