How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Scales Mound

Sink water can soak wallboard through pipe openings. The crew checks that cavity because prolonged dampness can damage porous material.

1. Extract the sink water

   Local pros collect water near the toe kick and check whether it reached the next room.

2. Map moisture around the fixture

   A visible stain is compared with readings so hidden water is not missed.

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.
