How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Ellsworth

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet cabinet board. The technician measures hidden moisture so drying reaches more than the visible puddle.

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

   Meter readings show whether the wet area extends behind a sink back panel.

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   A swollen base panel may be removed if it cannot be dried cleanly.

4. Dry and confirm the result

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