Water Damage Restoration in Brighton
Most water damage in Brighton homes starts in the two busiest rooms: the kitchen and the bathroom. Sinks, dishwashers, toilets, and showers all hide their plumbing behind cabinets and tile. Small drips there turn into swollen cabinets, loose tile, and soft floors. We dry and restore kitchen and bathroom leak damage across Brighton.
A Two Minute Under the Sink Check
Open each sink cabinet in your home and use three senses.
| Look | Touch | Smell |
|---|---|---|
| Water stains or rings on the cabinet floor | Soft or bubbling cabinet base | Musty or earthy odor |
| Rust or crust on shutoff valves | Damp supply lines or drain pipe | Sour smell from the drain |
| Warped or peeling cabinet edges | Loose or wobbly drain connections | Mildew smell when you open the door |
| Drips when you run the faucet | Wet area under the dishwasher side panel | Odor that gets stronger over days |
Do this every few months. Catching a slow drip early saves the cabinet and the floor.
Kitchen Leaks
- Dishwasher: worn door seals, loose drain hoses, and cracked inlet valves
- Sink: loose supply lines and drain slip nuts
- Garbage disposal: cracked housing or failed seals
- Refrigerator: ice maker and water filter lines behind the fridge
Kitchen water usually runs under the cabinets. We remove the toe kick panels and dry underneath without pulling the cabinets out when we can.
Bathroom Leaks
- Toilet: failed wax ring, cracked supply line, or a leaking tank
- Shower: cracked shower pan or failing grout and caulk
- Tub: leaking drain or overflow gasket
- Vanity: supply lines and drain connections inside the cabinet
Bathroom tile hides water well. It can soak the subfloor and the room below for weeks before you notice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can swollen cabinets be fixed?
Solid wood cabinets often dry back well. Particleboard that has swollen usually needs the damaged part replaced.
My bathroom floor tile is loose. Is that water damage?
It can be. Loose tile often means water got under it through grout or around the toilet or shower.
Do I need to remove my kitchen cabinets to dry under them?
Usually not. We remove the toe kicks and dry the space underneath with targeted airflow.
What's that smell under my sink?
A musty smell often means a slow leak and moisture in the cabinet base. Have it checked before mold spreads.
Water still spreading?
