Apply a sealant to your cabinets to repel water and moisture. This will help prevent further water damage from developing, such as mold and rotting wood.

While it’s possible to purchase RTA inset cabinets that you assemble yourself, DIYing the installation may not be advisable unless you have advanced carpentry skills.

This becomes even more challenging if your walls aren’t plumb or your floors and ceilings aren’t perfectly level.
