An under sink leak does not always create a large puddle. A slow drip can soak cabinet edges and spread beneath a sink base, while a loose fitting can release more water in a short time. The crew checks the actual wet footprint instead of judging the loss by how much water remains visible.

Close the sink valve if it can be reached safely. A plumber fixes the leaking part, while the water damage crew in Unicoi extracts escaped water and checks the cabinet and floor.

How Under Sink Leak Water Cleanup Works in Unicoi

1. Remove accessible sink water

   A portable extractor reaches the sink area while the crew identifies wet flooring beyond the splash zone.

2. Measure the hidden wet area

   Readings from cabinet and floor layers determine equipment placement, not the size of the puddle alone.

3. Create drying access

   Cabinet components that cannot be dried in place are documented before removal.

4. Dry and confirm progress

   Recorded followup checks show when cabinet backing and floor layers reach a dry condition.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold is a risk when wood, drywall or paper facing stays wet. The restoration crew focuses on removing water and drying the structure before that moisture lingers.

• Close the accessible shutoff if it can be reached without electrical danger.
• Stop using the sink until a plumber identifies and fixes the source.
• Keep hands away from wet outlets, appliance plugs and disposal wiring.
• Remove dry items from the cabinet and photograph damaged contents.
• Call 24/7 when the cabinet base or surrounding floor remains wet.
