A kitchen sink cabinet often has pipe openings, seams and a recessed toe kick. Water follows those openings into spaces that a towel cannot reach. A soaked cabinet may also touch a shared partition or flooring that continues beneath neighboring units.
If water is still spraying, isolate the supply from a safe location and contact a plumber. Once the source is controlled, extraction and moisture mapping address what leaked into the property.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Close the sink shutoff or main valve when it is safe to do so.
- Avoid using a disposal, outlet or appliance in the wet area.
- Move dry household products out of the cabinet without disturbing wiring.
- Take photos of swollen panels, water marks and affected flooring.
