When we are checking a home to determine repair costs, it is very important for us to examine the cabinets in their entirety.
The implications of severe water damage may be failure of the cabinets. The implications of damage or where maybe collapse of the cabinet or in operable doors or drawers, if severe. In many cases, the defects are cosmetic.
Cracked or broken glass can be a safety issue if glass falls on to people. Defective hardware and stiff or in operative doors or drawers are functional problems that diminish the usability of the cabinets.
Cabinets that are not well secured to the wall are a serious safety issue. Falling cabinets can seriously injure people.
Doors, drawers, or other pieces that are missing or loose affect the usability of cabinets.
Shelves that are not well supported are usually minor problems, unless they are filled with China before giving way. This can cause damage and injury.
Rusted medicine cabinets are not hygienic, and the cabinet may eventually rust through and become nonfunctional.
Where water damage is visible, probe for Rot and make sure the cabinet structure is intact.
Apply moderate upward force on wall hung cabinets to ensure they aren't loose. Test that shelves are secured by applying moderate downward force to the front edge.
Happy rehabbing!!
