Kitchen Remodeling in Lake Balboa
In a Lake Balboa kitchen, Navon Home repairs a soft subfloor and wet wall board by the sink first, so new cabinets sit level and the layout can be fixed.
Flooring and drywall repair leads a Lake Balboa kitchen job whenever the subfloor beside the sink gives underfoot. A soft patch there often points to a slow leak that has reached the plywood, and cabinets set on it will never sit level. We cut out the damaged section, look at the joists beneath, and replace the wet board behind the sink base before the cabinet plan is settled.
Probing the floor near the sink
A moisture meter and a firm press with a heel find most soft spots. On a raised foundation we also look up from the crawlspace at the underside of the plywood and the joists, where dark stains show how far the water traveled. A joist that has lost strength gets a new member fastened alongside it. The new panel is matched in thickness to the old floor, glued and screwed down, so the cabinets, the dishwasher and the finished flooring all start from one flat plane.
Board behind the sink and the LADBS permit
Behind the sink base we hang a moisture-resistant board and leave the supply and drain lines easy to reach through the cabinet back. With that wall open, the valves, the trap and the wiring for the disposal are easy to inspect, and any outlet near the sink is planned with ground fault protection. When plumbing, circuits or walls change, the permit is filed with LADBS, the building department for Lake Balboa as part of Los Angeles. A kitchen in Reseda, Encino or Van Nuys follows the same sequence.
What we plan and build in Lake Balboa
Every project here starts the same way: a measured layout, then the lines behind the walls, then finishes.
