Due to all the water lines and drain pipes, your kitchen is one of the most common rooms for water damage. When it comes to water damaged kitchen cabinets, a leak from any one of those water lines can cause significant damage. Some of the most common causes of kitchen cabinet water damage include:

• Leaky pipes under the sink
• Dishwasher floods
• Water supply line issues
• Faucet leaks or malfunctions
• Broken or leaking refrigerator water lines
• Clogged and overflowing sinks
• Excessive condensation from cooking
• Frozen and burst water pipes

In order to prevent water damage in your kitchen, you should check for signs of water damage regularly. Inspect under sink cabinets for signs of leaks and make repairs if necessary. Check dishwasher and refrigerator supply lines at least once per year. Additionally, avoid using plastic water lines when installing a supply line to your refrigerator or ice maker.
