How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Gillespie

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

   Local pros collect water near the toe kick and check whether it reached the next room.

2. Map moisture around the fixture

   A visible stain is compared with readings so hidden water is not missed.

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   Unsavable pressed wood comes out while sound structure remains for drying.

4. Dry and confirm the result

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