What Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Saint Ignace

Cabinet board can swell at raw edges after kitchen sink cabinet water damage cleanup. The crew measures the base, back panel and toe kick to locate retained moisture.

The cabinet floor may show a stain, but water often follows its lowest route. It can settle under the toe kick, travel toward a dishwasher opening, or soak the subfloor beneath a kitchen finish. Composite cabinet panels swell quickly when their edges absorb water and may not regain their strength after drying.

A plumber stops the sink leak at the valve, faucet or drain. The Saint Ignace water damage crew extracts what escaped and dries the cabinet and floor.
