How Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Works in De Kalb Junction

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

   The technician follows elevated readings beyond the visible stain to outline the drying footprint.

3. Create drying access

   A cabinet toe kick can conceal water; safe access lets the crew extract and dry beneath it.

4. Dry and confirm progress

   A final set of readings helps the owner plan cabinet and flooring work after mitigation.

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.
