How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Brighton

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

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

2. Map moisture around the fixture

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

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   Access beneath a toe kick lets the drying team address water beside the floor.

4. Dry and confirm the result

   Air movement and dehumidification continue while daily readings trend toward a dry target.
