How Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Works in Shishmaref

1. Remove accessible sink water

   A portable extractor reaches the sink area while the crew identifies wet flooring beyond the splash zone.

2. Measure the hidden wet area

   The technician follows elevated readings beyond the visible stain to outline the drying footprint.

3. Create drying access

   A cabinet toe kick can conceal water; safe access lets the crew extract and dry beneath it.

4. Dry and confirm progress

   Equipment remains based on measurements, not on whether the cabinet feels dry to a hand.

• Move dry household products out of the cabinet without disturbing wiring.
• Take photos of swollen panels, water marks and affected flooring.
• Call a plumber for the source and call 24/7 for extraction and drying.
