How Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Works in Vinalhaven

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 contractor opens trapped areas only as needed to expose damp material and protect sound finishes.

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

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.
