Signs to look for

When to call us for sink overflow cleanup

For the written restoration scope, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

Water ran for more than a minute or two

For the written restoration scope, a typical faucet delivers somewhere between one and two and a half gallons a minute.

The countertop drained toward the front edge

During our assessment, counters are not flat and they are not sealed at the front.

The toe kick is dark or damp at its lower edge

As our specialists document the loss, the toe kick is the recessed strip at the floor under the cabinet.

The drawer stack next to the basin is wet inside

For the written restoration scope, water off the counter enters the top of a drawer bank.

There is water behind the cabinet run

During our assessment, some of it goes back over the countertop rear edge and behind the backsplash.

The flooring has lifted at a seam in front of the sink

For the written restoration scope, laminate and floating floors swell at their edges first.

What happens

How we handle sink overflow cleanup

Our restoration specialists adjust the work to the areas and materials involved, the measured reach of the water, and the materials that can be saved.

Tracing the path from the sink rim outward

For the written restoration scope, countertop, cabinet face, drawer stack, toe kick void, floor, wall base and behind the run. As our specialists document the loss, we verify each stage instead of assuming the water stopped at the first one.

A moisture map that includes the floor behind the cabinets

During our assessment, the strip behind a cabinet run is invisible and commonly the wettest place in the room. For the written restoration scope, we read it through the toe kick or from the back side wherever we can.

Cabinet emptied, dried and read from the inside

From the first moisture reading, everything under the basin comes out and goes on dry ground.

Toe kick void opened where water is standing

As our specialists document the loss, the void under a fixed cabinet has no airflow.

Extraction from under the floor covering

During our assessment, where laminate, vinyl or engineered flooring has trapped water underneath, we extract from beneath the covering rather than drying a surface that is already dry.

Gray water cleaning when the basin was in use

For the written restoration scope, a sink full of dishwater or soaking laundry is gray water.

What to expect

What to expect from our restoration specialists

Your call
2
Clear the countertop before you touch the floor

As our specialists document the loss, the counter is still feeding the cabinet face.
+2 minutes
3
Open the cabinet and look at the toe kick line

During our assessment, take a look from a dry standing position with the doors open.
+5 minutes
4
Check behind the run and the room below

From the first moisture reading, look at the floor beyond the end of the cabinets and, if this was upstairs, at the ceiling underneath.
+10 minutes
5
We follow the path, not the puddle

From the first moisture reading, on arrival we start at the sink rim and work outward in the order the water traveled, marking a wet boundary you can see on the floor.
On arrival
6
Readings at the counter line, the cabinet and the void

During our assessment, moisture meter readings are taken at each stage of the path and written down. During our assessment, this is where a two minute overflow in many cases turns out to be a two room footprint.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We review with you the written restoration scope and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Sink overflow caught while it was happening, one room	During our assessment, national estimate. From the first moisture reading, extraction, toe kick void drying and a few equipment days on clean water.	$500 to $1,500
Overflow that ran unattended into the cabinet run and flooring	During our assessment, national estimate. During our assessment, cabinetry, a flooring assembly and a larger measured area.	$1,500 to $5,000
Sink base and toe kick void drying, one cabinet run	As our specialists document the loss, national estimate for the void under a fixed cabinet run, opened and dried on its own.	$400 to $1,000
Overflow from an upper floor sink into the ceiling below	During our assessment, national estimate. For the written restoration scope, a second room, the joist bay above it and ceiling repair.	$2,500 to $8,000
Overflow cleanup priced by affected area, clean water	National estimate for measured impacted area, which is how most estimates are built.	$3 to $7 per square foot
Cleaning and deodorizing after gray water from a used basin	From the first moisture reading, national estimate for the cleaning work, which is quoted next to the drying and not inside it.	$200 to $800
After hours dispatch on its own	As our specialists document the loss, national estimate for the out of hours call out itself, before any cleanup is priced.	$100 to $400

How long the tap ran
As our specialists document the loss, minutes decide gallons and gallons decide footprint.
How much of the water went into the cabinet
As our specialists document the loss, water that stayed on an open floor is straightforward.
Which sink it was
For the written restoration scope, a bathroom vanity, a kitchen sink in a long cabinet run and a utility sink over a concrete floor are three different jobs with three different scopes.
Cabinet construction
Plywood boxes in many cases dry and stay.
Flooring type and whether it comes up
As our specialists document the loss, tile is forgiving.
Clean water or gray water
For the written restoration scope, a basin of clean running water is a drying job.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Moisture can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

The impacted area is many times the puddle

For the written restoration scope, a sink base cabinet is two or three feet wide.

This cabinet gets wet from the top down as well

During our assessment, unlike a leak underneath, an overflow soaks the cabinet face, the drawer bottoms and the interior shelf.

The floor behind the run never dries by itself

As our specialists document the loss, water that went over the rear edge lands in a strip with no airflow and no access.

Mold can start within 24 to 48 hours in a closed base

From the first moisture reading, the inside of a sink cabinet is dark, still and enclosed.

Helpful service information

What to know about sink overflow cleanup

First identify the short explanation. Open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

During our assessment, on a bathroom sink it is a small channel cast into the sink basin that bypasses a closed stopper.

Read the explanation

As our specialists document the loss, the overflow drain is worth understanding, because most people trust it further than it deserves.

How the next step is decided

Some goes forward over the front edge onto the cabinet face and down into the toe kick void.

Read the explanation

Water off a countertop takes four routes at once, and they matter more than the volume. Some goes forward over the front edge onto the cabinet face and down into the toe kick void.

What may change the work

The floor surface is the easy part and it is in many cases dry before we arrive.

Read the explanation

Drying a sink overflow is a void problem, not a floor problem. The floor surface is the easy part and it is in many cases dry before we arrive.

Common questions

Questions about sink overflow cleanup

Why did my sink overflow so without delay?

From the first moisture reading, faucets run at roughly one to two and a half gallons a minute.

What is the overflow hole for if it did not stop this?

From the first moisture reading, it helps, and it is not enough. For the written restoration scope, the overflow channel on a bathroom sink is sized well below the faucet flow rate of a fully open tap.

Do kitchen sinks have an overflow drain?

For the written restoration scope, most do not. From the first moisture reading, kitchen and utility sinks are in many cases built without one, which is why a plugged kitchen basin with the tap running goes over the rim with no warning at all.

From the first moisture reading, it only ran a few minutes. How is the floor this wet?

From the first moisture reading, because it did not land in one place. As our specialists document the loss, water leaves the basin at counter height, sheets across the top and drops off the front edge, so it spreads instead of pooling.

Is the water dirty?

As our specialists document the loss, if the tap was running into an empty basin, it is clean water and this is a drying job.

Can I just towel it up myself?

For the written restoration scope, towels and a household wet vacuum handle the counter and the open floor.

Will my sink cabinet be saved?

As our specialists document the loss, plywood cabinet boxes in many cases dry in place once the toe kick is opened and air gets into the void.
