How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Applegate

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet cabinet board. The technician measures hidden moisture so drying reaches more than the visible puddle.

1. Extract the sink water

   A technician starts at the visible puddle, then pulls water from accessible floor edges.

2. Map moisture around the fixture

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

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   The crew opens a trapped area when airflow cannot reach moisture behind it.

4. Dry and confirm the result

   Equipment placement changes as moisture leaves cabinet, wall and floor layers.
