What Bathroom Vanity Leak Cleanup Includes in Richmond
Cabinet board can swell at raw edges after bathroom vanity leak cleanup. The crew measures the base, back panel and toe kick to locate retained moisture.

In an upstairs bathroom, water may also pass through the floor around pipe openings and stain the room below.
A plumber stops the sink leak at the valve, faucet or drain. The Richmond water damage crew extracts what escaped and dries the cabinet and floor.
