How Under Sink Leak Water Cleanup Works in Elgin

1. Remove accessible sink water

   An upstairs sink loss may need extraction in the bathroom and attention to the ceiling below.

2. Measure the hidden wet area

   A lower ceiling stain prompts checks of the cavity below the original sink leak.

3. Create drying access

   Wet padding or unsalvageable particleboard is removed when it blocks structural drying.

4. Dry and confirm progress

   Air movement and dehumidification run with repeated material readings until drying goals are met.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. A closed sink cabinet can hold moisture against wood and drywall, so the crew checks it promptly.

• 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.
