What Kitchen Sink Cabinet Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Highmore
Cabinet board can swell at raw edges after kitchen sink cabinet water damage cleanup. The crew measures the base, back panel and toe kick to locate retained moisture.
The cabinet floor may show a stain, but water often follows its lowest route. It can settle under the toe kick, travel toward a dishwasher opening, or soak the subfloor beneath a kitchen finish.
