How Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Works in Patten

1. Remove accessible sink water

   A portable extractor reaches the sink area while the crew identifies wet flooring beyond the splash zone.

2. Measure the hidden wet area

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

3. Create drying access

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

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

• 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.
