How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Galena

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet cabinet board. The technician measures hidden moisture so drying reaches more than the visible puddle.

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

2. Map moisture around the fixture

   A visible stain is compared with readings so hidden water is not missed.

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   A swollen base panel may be removed if it cannot be dried cleanly.

4. Dry and confirm the result

   Final measurements support the transition from cleanup to finish work.
