Xtreme Drying was contacted by a homeowner in Chandler, AZ after they noticed water appearing from underneath their dishwasher. Concerned about the source of the moisture, the homeowner called our team to investigate. Upon arrival, we performed a detailed assessment and discovered a small pinhole leak in the hot water PEX line (the red line) running through the kitchen island. Although the leak was relatively minor in appearance, it had been active for an extended period, which allowed water to absorb into the surrounding drywall and cabinetry.
Over time, this undetected water intrusion had saturated the walls and cabinets, creating the conditions for mold growth and leading to significant material damage. Once the source of the leak was identified, we initiated our mitigation process. The first step was setting up a full containment barrier to prevent potential cross-contamination into unaffected areas of the home. This is a crucial step in any water damage or mold remediation project, especially when working in open residential spaces.
Next, we stabilized the granite countertop by carefully shoring it up, which allowed us to remove the affected cabinets and water-damaged drywall without risking damage to the existing fixtures. With the damaged materials removed, our technicians cleaned and treated the exposed framing to address any visible mold and reduce the chance of future microbial growth.
To ensure a thorough drying process, we deployed professional-grade air movers and dehumidifiers, allowing the structure to dry over the weekend. Moisture readings taken after the drying period confirmed that the area had reached acceptable dryness levels based on industry guidelines.
This residential project in Chandler, AZ is a strong example of how small plumbing failures can escalate into more serious structural and environmental issues if left undetected. Our team was able to respond quickly, assess the situation accurately, and implement a safe and effective remediation plan. By the end of the project, the affected area was clean, dry, and ready for repairs and reconstruction.
Xtreme Drying continues to serve Chandler and surrounding communities with reliable water damage restoration and mold remediation services tailored to the specific needs of each property and homeowner. Our experience and process-driven approach help ensure peace of mind for every client we assist.
