How Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Works in Porter
-
Remove accessible sink water

-
Measure the hidden wet area
A lower ceiling stain prompts checks of the cavity below the original sink leak.
-
Create drying access
Swollen panels or a closed void may need removal so air can reach wet building layers.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A wiped floor is not proof that the cabinet backing is dry. Trapped moisture can support mold growth; meter readings show where structural drying is still needed.
- 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.
