How Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Works in Merritt

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

   The crew tests adjoining rooms when a plumbing opening gives water another path.

3. Create drying access

   Swollen panels or a closed void may need removal so air can reach wet building layers.

4. Dry and confirm progress

   Equipment remains based on measurements, not on whether the cabinet feels dry to a hand.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water under a vanity may remain hidden after the leak stops. Extraction and controlled drying reduce the time that porous materials stay damp.

• 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.
