What Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Metuchen
Cabinet board can swell at raw edges after kitchen sink cabinet water damage cleanup. The crew measures the base, back panel and toe kick to locate retained moisture.
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.
If the sink supply pipe bursts, turn off the water when safe. The plumber addresses the break, and the extraction crew removes water from adjacent materials.
