A & H In Home Services | Water Damage Restoration & Carpenters in Soddy-Daisy, TN

The most common clues are a musty smell, damp walls even after the floor dries, or peeling paint near the baseboards. Sometimes the floor feels spongey. If you had recent heavy rain—like the kind that fills up yards near Soddy Lake—check behind furniture and along corners. Our team uses moisture meters to find wet spots inside walls that you can't see.

Absolutely. Many homes have swollen particleboard cabinet bottoms from fridge ice maker lines or dishwasher leaks. We assess whether the wood can be dried and reinforced, or if the cabinet front needs replacement. As carpenters, we can match existing styles or build new custom cabinets. Often we catch the soft spots early and save the entire unit.

Even though we're inland, remnants from Gulf hurricanes can dump rain and cause flash flooding, especially along low-lying areas near Big Soddy Creek. First we extract standing water with truck-mounted pumps. Then we set up industrial dehumidifiers and air movers, checking moisture levels in wood, drywall, and flooring. Once the space is fully dry, we repair any structural damage—replacing wet insulation, trims, and drywall. We also treat for mold prevention.
