What Under Sink Leak Cleanup Includes in Springhill
When under sink leak cleanup affects an upstairs fixture, the ceiling below may need checking. A Springhill technician follows the full wet path.
The puddle under a sink is often the smallest part of the wet area. Water can wick into a cabinet base, run behind the back panel, and collect under a recessed toe kick. A drain leak may also leave food residue in the water, which changes how the affected materials are cleaned.
A plumber stops the sink leak at the valve, faucet or drain. The Springhill water damage crew extracts what escaped and dries the cabinet and floor.
