How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Claymont

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

   Used drain water may require cleaning controls as the crew removes it from the cabinet.

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

   Final measurements support the transition from cleanup to finish work.
