How Supply Line and Sink Leak Water Removal Works in Verdugo City
-
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.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Moisture trapped behind baseboards, under cabinets or inside wall cavities does not show on the surface. Meters and a thermal camera find it before it turns into a smell.
- 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.
