How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Matthews

A towel removes surface liquid but cannot dry a swollen cabinet core. Restoration workers expose trapped moisture and track progress with readings.

1. Extract the sink water

   A technician starts at the visible puddle, then pulls water from accessible floor edges.

2. Map moisture around the fixture

   A visible stain is compared with readings so hidden water is not missed.

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   The crew opens a trapped area when airflow cannot reach moisture behind it.

4. Dry and confirm the result

   Air movement and dehumidification continue while daily readings trend toward a dry target.
