A plumber can stop a valve leak, but the surrounding particleboard may stay wet. The restoration technician measures it and sets equipment for the affected structure.

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.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Smithfield was built in the 1980s. This era often has particleboard cabinet components that swell after wetting. The technician assesses whether the material can dry in place.
Changing winter temperatures can expose a weak fitting. Water cleanup follows the leak regardless of the weather that preceded it.
