How Under Sink Leak Water Cleanup Works in South Boston

1. Remove accessible sink water

   The crew extracts water from the cabinet base and adjoining floor, then checks where the flow crossed room edges.

2. Measure the hidden wet area

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

3. Create drying access

   Wet padding or unsalvageable particleboard is removed when it blocks structural drying.

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 sink base packed with stored items can hide a long wet path. The technician moves through the affected area with a meter and plans drying around the actual moisture.

• 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.
