Mold Remediation/Plumbing Repair

Project Story
The Challenge
A property manager sent us out after a tenant reported mold in the kitchen cabinets. What started as a complaint turned into a full investigation — and what we found underneath the sink had been quietly causing damage for a long time before anyone noticed.
The Solution
After tracing the source, we identified two culprits: a dishwasher discharge hose that had been leaking under the cabinet for an extended period, and failed shut-off valves. The moisture had done enough damage to require a full remediation approach — we brought in air scrubbers, sealed off the rest of the home to contain any airborne spores, and demoed the mold-affected cabinet material down to clean wood. Everything was treated, cleaned, and sealed before we rebuilt. Once the structure was sound, we replaced all the plumbing under the sink — new PEX water lines, new shut-off valves, and a new dishwasher discharge line installed correctly. During the process we also found a code violation on the garbage disposal outlet, which we replaced and brought up to current code before closing everything out.
The Result
No more mold, no more leak, and a cabinet interior that's structurally rebuilt and properly sealed. The property manager got a unit that's clean, code-compliant, and documented — which matters when you're managing someone else's asset. The kind of job where doing it right means pulling on every thread you find, not just the one the tenant called about. The garbage disposal outlet violation alone could have been a liability sitting there unaddressed — finding it was just part of doing the work the right way.
