How Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Works in Altamont

1. Remove accessible sink water

   The crew extracts water from the cabinet base and adjoining floor, then checks where the flow crossed room edges.

2. Measure the hidden wet area

   Moisture mapping shows whether the toe kick or subfloor holds water after the surface is wiped.

3. Create drying access

   Swollen panels or a closed void may need removal so air can reach wet building layers.

4. Dry and confirm progress

   The crew monitors structural materials before finish work is considered.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A sealed toe kick has little air movement. The technician may create safe access and use dehumidification when the material behind it is wet.

• Close the sink shutoff or main valve when it is safe to do so.
• Avoid using a disposal, outlet or appliance in the wet area.
• Move dry household products out of the cabinet without disturbing wiring.
• Take photos of swollen panels, water marks and affected flooring.
• Call a plumber for the source and call 24/7 for extraction and drying.
