How Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Works in Gilson

1. Remove accessible sink water

   An upstairs sink loss may need extraction in the bathroom and attention to the ceiling below.

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

   The crew monitors structural materials before finish work is considered.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• 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.
