For a wet under sink cabinet in Bernice, call both trades promptly. Plumbing correction prevents new water, while extraction limits continued absorption.

How Under Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Bernice

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

   The floor edge, toe kick and lower wall receive separate moisture checks.

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   The technician documents any cabinet or wall material removed for drying.

4. Dry and confirm the result

   Final measurements support the transition from cleanup to finish work.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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.

• Stop using the sink until a plumber addresses the source.
• Close an accessible valve only while standing on dry, stable flooring.
• Leave wet outlets, disposal wiring, and plugged appliances alone.
• Move dry cabinet contents aside and leave soaked items for assessment.
• Photograph staining, swollen panels, and any water below the cabinet.
