A Tujunga house that needs Supply Line and Sink Leak Water Removal gets drying sized room by room. The technician picks fans and dehumidifiers by loss class, then adjusts after each day's readings.
A sink leak rarely floods a room all at once. It fills the cabinet, wicks into the toe kick and creeps under the flooring. In kitchens and baths all over Los Angeles County, that can run for weeks behind a closed door.

How Supply Line and Sink Leak Water Removal Works in Tujunga
-
Pump out the standing water
Extraction starts at the lowest point and works outward. Doors are propped open, furniture goes up on blocks and anything that can wick water is moved clear.
-
Map the moisture
Pin and pinless meters and a thermal camera sweep the walls and floors to show where the water went. Every reading goes on a moisture map.
-
Remove what cannot dry
Drywall that wicked water may be cut a short height above the wet line, called a flood cut. The gap lets air reach the studs and the insulation.
-
Dry and verify
Humidity in the air is tracked as well as the materials. If the air stays wet, the dehumidifiers keep working.

Porous materials lose the race against the clock. Each extra day that drywall, particleboard cabinets and carpet pad stay wet moves them closer to the dumpster.
- Turn the small valve under the sink clockwise, or close the main if it will not stop.
- Take everything out of the cabinet and set it on a dry surface.
- Soak up pooled water with towels.
- Keep the failed hose or part in a bag.
- Photograph the cabinet, the floor and the wall behind.
