How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Watson

Cabinet doors left open improve airflow but do not reach a sealed back panel. The drying team opens necessary areas and verifies the moisture level.

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 floor edge, toe kick and lower wall receive separate moisture checks.

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   A swollen base panel may be removed if it cannot be dried cleanly.

4. Dry and confirm the result

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