How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Old Lyme

Used drain water can carry residue into a cabinet base. The cleanup crew removes unsalvageable material and sanitizes affected surfaces after extraction.

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

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

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

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

4. Dry and confirm the result

   A technician compares affected surfaces with dry references before closing the job.
