A kitchen has many edges where hidden water can collect: cabinet toe kicks, appliance bays, islands and floor transitions. Moisture from a buried pipe may appear near a dishwasher or sink even when those fixtures are sound. Call Slab Leak Cleanup Team when cabinetry swells or floor seams darken.
If a kitchen floor is wet, cabinets may be affected too. The plumber stops the leak; restoration workers document and dry the room.
