How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Whitmore Lake

A closed toe kick holds water where air moves slowly. Prompt extraction and targeted drying limit how long this material remains wet.

1. Extract the sink water

   Accessible moisture comes out first, allowing the drying team to see what remains trapped.

2. Map moisture around the fixture

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

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.
