How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Runnells

2. Map moisture around the fixture

   The technician tests cabinet board, wall openings and flooring to set a measured boundary.

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

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

4. Dry and confirm the result

   Final measurements support the transition from cleanup to finish work.
