It’s important to know the difference between whether you need to repair or replace your kitchen cabinets. Sometimes you’ll be able to fix a small issue with your cabinets with needing to get rid of them. Other times, your kitchen cabinets will experience some issues that will require you to replace them. Here are three signs that you need to replace your kitchen cabinets, rather than just trying to replace them.
Water Damage
If you have wood cabinets, you may notice that they have been damaged by water over the years. There are a lot of sources of moisture in your kitchen, including water from your sink and steam from when you cook. This problem can get worse if there are existing plumbing issues. If your wood cabinets are warped, you should get new cabinets. Warped cabinets are not only unsightly, but can affect how your cabinets work as well.
Mold On Your Cabinets
After there has been a lot of water damage to your cabinets, you may even have some mold growth on your cabinet. This can happen even if you have already previously treated the water damage on your cabinet. Mold can affect the structure of your cabinets, which could make them ineffective. In addition, mold could lead to health issues for everyone in your home. If the mold problem is extensive, get new cabinets.
Bad Functionality
Sometimes your kitchen’s cabinets simply don’t work for your needs. One example of this is a cabinet that opens in a way that is inconvenient. If your cabinets block off space in your kitchen that you could be using for other purposes, you should get new ones. Ultimately, your cabinets should be a storage option that improves the functionality of your kitchen, not diminishes it. This could also be an issue with the structure of your cabinets. For example, if the sides of your cabinets are soft, this is a sign that the structure is failing. The structural integrity of your cabinets is important. If it is compromised, you will need to get new cabinets for you kitchen.
