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.

- 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.

Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Questions in Columbia
Can water move beneath other kitchen cabinets?
Yes. Gaps at the sink base and continuous flooring can carry water to neighboring units. The technician tests beyond the visibly wet cabinet.
Will all the cabinets have to come out?
The crew measures each affected section. Some assemblies dry through targeted access, while badly swollen or trapped wet material may need removal.
Are materials removed during kitchen sink cabinet water damage cleanup?
Heavily soaked or unsalvageable materials may be documented and removed so the remaining structure can dry.
Is kitchen sink cabinet water damage cleanup needed after the plumber leaves?
A repaired fixture does not dry cabinets or flooring. The crew checks those materials separately.
Can kitchen sink cabinet water damage cleanup include the floor?
Yes. A sink leak can pass beneath flooring and into the subfloor, so readings should cover that area.
