What Under Sink Leak Cleanup Includes in Gerber
A plumber corrects the sink plumbing involved in under sink leak cleanup. The drying crew removes water already inside wall and floor materials.
The puddle under a sink is often the smallest part of the wet area. Water can wick into a cabinet base, run behind the back panel, and collect under a recessed toe kick. A drain leak may also leave food residue in the water, which changes how the affected materials are cleaned.
A restored fixture does not make a swollen cabinet dry. The technician checks hidden moisture and sets equipment after the plumbing source is fixed.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Moisture beneath floor finish can linger after the sink valve closes. Prolonged dampness raises damage risk, so the floor edge needs checking.
- Stop using the sink until a plumber addresses the source.
- Close an accessible valve only while standing on dry, stable flooring.
- Leave wet outlets, disposal wiring, and plugged appliances alone.
- Move dry cabinet contents aside and leave soaked items for assessment.
- Photograph staining, swollen panels, and any water below the cabinet.
