| Cabinets often get wet when the line to the ice maker burst or the sink overflows. The washing machine may overflow in the utility room, and if it's next to the kitchen, it can easily happen. If the cabinets are made of hardwood, the air must be dried until the actual humidity is below 40 grains per pound. At a room temperature of 70 F degrees, the relative humidity has to be below 38% to dry hardwoods in any kind of timely manner. Cabinets are very expensive, and if they are not dried properly the home owner can end up paying to replace them down the road. Be careful about using a water extraction cleanup technician the insurance company sends out. Sometimes they get in a bit of a hurry to leave because the insurance company gave them the job. They should be eager to stay until the moisture sensors say it's time to go. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| It takes a special air mover to dry the air cavity underneath the cabinets. If this area isn't dried properly, mold can become a real problem. Drying under cabinets is similar to putting air into a basketball. Small holes are drilled at the back of the cabinets where small air pins are inserted. These air pins are attatched to tubes coming from a specialized air pump designed for pumping air into tight air cavities. The dehumidifiers produce dry air which is forced down into the cavity under the cabinets, and the moist air is pushed out allowing the wall behind the cabinets as well as the cabinets themselves to dry properly and in a timely manner. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
