How Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Works in Lerna

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

   Readings from cabinet and floor layers determine equipment placement, not the size of the puddle alone.

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.

• Move dry household products out of the cabinet without disturbing wiring.
• Take photos of swollen panels, water marks and affected flooring.
