The faucet connector needs a plumbing professional; a soaked toe kick needs a drying plan. Call for water cleanup as soon as wet materials are noticed in Emerson.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Humidity can rise in a closed room after a cabinet flood. Dehumidifiers pull moisture from the air while air movement helps wet surfaces release it.
- 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.
