How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Shanks

A closed toe kick holds water where air moves slowly. Prompt extraction and targeted drying limit how long this material remains wet.

1. Extract the sink water

   The extraction team addresses wet surfaces after the plumber stops the sink source.

2. Map moisture around the fixture

   The floor edge, toe kick and lower wall receive separate moisture checks.

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   A swollen base panel may be removed if it cannot be dried cleanly.

4. Dry and confirm the result

   Final measurements support the transition from cleanup to finish work.
