What Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Penobscot

Close the sink valve if it can be reached safely. A plumber fixes the leaking part, while the water damage crew in Penobscot extracts escaped water and checks the cabinet and floor.

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
The first day after a supply hose break matters for cabinet materials. Prompt extraction leaves less water in the floor and wall layers.
- 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.
