How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Chattanooga

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

   The crew removes standing liquid from the cabinet and nearby floor before it can soak farther.

2. Map moisture around the fixture

   A dry reference helps the crew judge which materials were affected by the leak.

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

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