What Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Lake In The Hills
Visible sink water gets extracted first; trapped water needs an access plan. In Lake In The Hills, Supply Line Burst Team helps start kitchen sink cabinet water damage cleanup with measured drying.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A wiped floor is not proof that the cabinet backing is dry. Trapped moisture can support mold growth; meter readings show where structural drying is still needed.
- 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.
