The important thing is to understand where the moisture is coming from and make sure that is fixed.

Most all professionals agree that there are many benefits to plywood cabinetry, not least because they don't expand or dissolve from moisture as pressed wood cabinets do.I would like to ask our esteemed group of rehabbers, if the money spent on plywood cabinets, though minimal, is necessary if the home will be flipped.
