How Under Sink Leak Water Cleanup Works in Montevideo

1. Remove accessible sink water

   The mitigation team removes puddles and saturated contents safely, with electrical hazards assessed first.

2. Measure the hidden wet area

   The crew tests adjoining rooms when a plumbing opening gives water another path.

3. Create drying access

   The team evaluates floor covering and underlayment before deciding whether an opening is necessary.

4. Dry and confirm progress

   The technician tracks humidity and wood moisture, adjusting equipment when the loss does not improve.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Humidity can rise in a closed room after a cabinet flood. Dehumidifiers pull moisture from the air while air movement helps wet surfaces release it.

• Close the accessible shutoff if it can be reached without electrical danger.
• Stop using the sink until a plumber identifies and fixes the source.
• Keep hands away from wet outlets, appliance plugs and disposal wiring.
• Remove dry items from the cabinet and photograph damaged contents.
• Call 24/7 when the cabinet base or surrounding floor remains wet.
