How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Evanston

2. Map moisture around the fixture

   A dry reference helps the crew judge which materials were affected by the leak.

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   The technician documents any cabinet or wall material removed for drying.

4. Dry and confirm the result

   Equipment placement changes as moisture leaves cabinet, wall and floor layers.
