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

How Under Sink Leak Water Cleanup Works in South Gardiner

1. Remove accessible sink water

   The crew extracts water from the cabinet base and adjoining floor, then checks where the flow crossed room edges.

2. Measure the hidden wet area

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

3. Create drying access

   A cabinet toe kick can conceal water; safe access lets the crew extract and dry beneath it.

4. Dry and confirm progress

   Recorded followup checks show when cabinet backing and floor layers reach a dry condition.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold is a risk when wood, drywall or paper facing stays wet. The restoration crew focuses on removing water and drying the structure before that moisture lingers.

• Close the accessible shutoff if it can be reached without electrical danger.
• Stop using the sink until a plumber identifies and fixes the source.
• Keep hands away from wet outlets, appliance plugs and disposal wiring.
• Remove dry items from the cabinet and photograph damaged contents.
• Call 24/7 when the cabinet base or surrounding floor remains wet.
