How Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Works in Bancroft

1. Extract the sink water

   The technician tests cabinet board, wall openings and flooring to set a measured boundary.

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

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

4. Dry and confirm the result

• Leave a wet dishwasher plug or disposal switch untouched.
• Keep children away from pooled water and cabinet cleaners.
• Take photos of the cabinet base, floor, and adjoining appliance opening.
• Move dry food and supplies out of the affected cabinet run.
