How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Ketchikan

Fast source control limits additional water. The restoration crew still tests the existing wet footprint and dries it before prolonged dampness causes further damage.

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

   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

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