How Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Works in Castalia

1. Remove accessible sink water

   Standing water around the vanity comes out before drying equipment starts. The technician also checks the space beneath the cabinet.

2. Measure the hidden wet area

   Readings from cabinet and floor layers determine equipment placement, not the size of the puddle alone.

3. Create drying access

   The team evaluates floor covering and underlayment before deciding whether an opening is necessary.

4. Dry and confirm progress

   Equipment remains based on measurements, not on whether the cabinet feels dry to a hand.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• 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.
