What Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Long Eddy
The source of kitchen sink cabinet water damage cleanup determines how the cleanup starts. A Long Eddy technician distinguishes fresh supply water from used drain water before extraction.
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 Long Eddy water damage crew extracts what escaped and dries the cabinet and floor.
