How Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Works in Chestnut

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

   Wet padding or unsalvageable particleboard is removed when it blocks structural drying.

4. Dry and confirm progress

   Air movement and dehumidification run with repeated material readings until drying goals are met.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A sink base packed with stored items can hide a long wet path. The technician moves through the affected area with a meter and plans drying around the actual moisture.

• 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.
