How Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Works in Balsam

1. Remove accessible sink water

   An upstairs sink loss may need extraction in the bathroom and attention to the ceiling below.

2. Measure the hidden wet area

   A meter checks cabinet panels, wallboard and floor seams against dry reference materials.

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

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A sealed toe kick has little air movement. The technician may create safe access and use dehumidification when the material behind it is wet.

• 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.
