How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Elmhurst

A towel removes surface liquid but cannot dry a swollen cabinet core. Restoration workers expose trapped moisture and track progress with readings.

1. Extract the sink water

   The crew removes standing liquid from the cabinet and nearby floor before it can soak farther.

2. Map moisture around the fixture

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

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   Wet finish layers can require careful opening before the subfloor dries.

4. Dry and confirm the result

   Final measurements support the transition from cleanup to finish work.
