How Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Works in Lexington

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

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

4. Dry and confirm progress

   The technician tracks humidity and wood moisture, adjusting equipment when the loss does not improve.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water trapped beneath a floor finish may not be visible. The crew checks the substrate so wet material is not covered during reconstruction.

• 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.
