A Step-by-Step Guide to Kitchen Water Damage Restoration in OC

You just discovered a warped cabinet floor or a swollen drawer front. You have a puddle near the dishwasher. Now what? Don’t panic. Follow this Orange County restoration roadmap.

Step 1: Stop the Source & Document Everything

Turn off the water. Take photos before you wipe anything up. Your insurance adjuster needs to see the “before.”

Step 2: Call Seib Before You Settle

Many homeowners settle with insurance, get a check, and then look for a contractor. We recommend calling us first. Kevin can help you scope the damage accurately so your insurance estimate is correct from the start. We work directly with adjusters to streamline the process.

Step 3: The “Repair” Assessment

Unlike other contractors who quote a full kitchen demolition, we look for what can be saved. Can we color-match the existing stain? Can we build new doors that match the old frames? This assessment saves the claim.

Step 4: In-House Fabrication

Once approved, your new cabinets or drawers are built in our Orange shop. We don’t disrupt your kitchen with sawdust for three weeks. We build, then we install.

Step 5: Final Walkthrough

We check plumbing, electrical (supervised by our licensed subs), and alignment. When we leave, you shouldn’t be able to tell there was ever an accident.
