- 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.
- Call a plumber for the source and call 24/7 for extraction and drying.

Yes. A sink leak can pass beneath flooring and into the subfloor, so readings should cover that area.

A repaired fixture does not dry cabinets or flooring. The crew checks those materials separately.
