How Under Sink Leak Water Cleanup Works in Wilmette

1. Remove accessible sink water

   The mitigation team removes puddles and saturated contents safely, with electrical hazards assessed first.

2. Measure the hidden wet area

   A lower ceiling stain prompts checks of the cavity below the original sink leak.

3. Create drying access

   The contractor opens trapped areas only as needed to expose damp material and protect sound finishes.

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

Water trapped beneath a floor finish may not be visible. The crew checks the substrate so wet material is not covered during reconstruction.

• Close the accessible shutoff if it can be reached without electrical danger.
• Stop using the sink until a plumber identifies and fixes the source.
• Keep hands away from wet outlets, appliance plugs and disposal wiring.
• Remove dry items from the cabinet and photograph damaged contents.
• Call 24/7 when the cabinet base or surrounding floor remains wet.
