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

   A technician starts at the visible puddle, then pulls water from accessible floor edges.

2. Map moisture around the fixture

   A dry reference helps the crew judge which materials were affected by the leak.

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   Access beneath a toe kick lets the drying team address water beside the floor.

4. Dry and confirm the result

   The drying crew checks the same material points to track real progress.
