What Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Hawkeye

A kitchen sink cabinet often has pipe openings, seams and a recessed toe kick. Water follows those openings into spaces that a towel cannot reach. A soaked cabinet may also touch a shared partition or flooring that continues beneath neighboring units.
A closed valve ends new flow, but it does not remove water from drywall or floor seams. The crew extracts and dries those materials after the plumber addresses the break.

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.
