How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Hecker

A towel removes surface liquid but cannot dry a swollen cabinet core. Restoration workers expose trapped moisture and track progress with readings.

1. Extract the sink water

   Local pros collect water near the toe kick and check whether it reached the next room.

2. Map moisture around the fixture

   An upstairs loss prompts the restoration worker to examine the ceiling below.

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   The crew opens a trapped area when airflow cannot reach moisture behind it.

4. Dry and confirm the result

   The crew records moisture progress and removes equipment when the drying goal is met.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Sudden accidental sink water damage is often covered, while the plumbing fix itself often is not. Keep the plumber invoice separate from the drying scope. Check with your own insurer about coverage.

• Show the crew each room with a damp surface.
• Record whether supply or drain water escaped.
• Save pictures of any lower ceiling stain.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
