How Sink Leak Cleanup Works in Saint James

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

   Unsavable pressed wood comes out while sound structure remains for drying.

4. Dry and confirm the result
