INSIDE THE PROJECT

Behind the cabinets.
Through to completion.

What began with damage around the kitchen sink led to access behind the cabinets and beneath the window. Follow the project through inspection, work-area preparation, containment and remediation, then the repair stages.

Wall and cabinet repairs

The repair photographs show insulation, replacement drywall, joint finishing and painting. A separate sequence follows damaged cabinet panels, replacement lining and reinstallation.
