Posted by: "Angels" cy.collins >Good point! Thanks! Wish that had been done around my dishwasher, sink, cabinets, etc. Had a flood due to old garbage disposal rusting out and separating from the sink. When the dishwasher ran into the garbage disposal the water went everywhere!!!
A cheap lil trick-
Sometimes I do a floor or an econo job for someone not well off & see a poor undersink shelf. I ask if I can use a scrap of floor linoleum there. Easy to clean - waterproof. Then I seal the sides, & up, 1/2"+. These sometimes tilt so 1" can be better at the back. Noone sees it. I use PAINTABLE clear. Clear, if you don't paint. Paintable, in case they do, years later.
MOST Silicon Caulk, cannot be painted. A few new ones, maybe...
>Now I'm wondering if I could have mold under the cabinets?! Great! Just what I need! MOLD!!! I WAS just going to resurface the cabinets and get new doors.
>The cabinets were built 59years ago ON THE WALL by a carpenter, not the box type cabinets, so they are in (I think) good condition, but maybe I need to check for mold under them. How do I do that? Do I have to remove the cabinets? Any help appreciated.
I see no dif. A small board (or large) attaches (everything) to the wall. Remove these. (See below.)
***OTHERS? I do few of these and cannot see the item.
He likely used a wood that is not going to soak up water fast. I would not worry, much... Was the flood quite recent? If long ago, they have dried out ok, I thiMk.
An easy way to inspect is a $150 camera that has a 2 ft wand for inspection. Drill a hole INSIDE the cabinet and look. BillSF9c
