A kitchen sink cabinet often has pipe openings, seams and a recessed toe kick. Water follows those openings into spaces that a towel cannot reach. A soaked cabinet may also touch a shared partition or flooring that continues beneath neighboring units.
A closed valve ends new flow, but it does not remove water from drywall or floor seams. The crew extracts and dries those materials after the plumber addresses the break.
