A clogged or overflowing kitchen sink soaks cabinets, floors, and the subfloor fast. Charleston crews extract the water and dry the structure before it warps flooring or feeds mold, responding 24/7 and reaching most Lowcountry homes in about an hour.
The crew stops the source, classifies the water, and maps how far it spread under the cabinets and into the subfloor and walls.
Standing and absorbed water is pulled from the floor, cabinet base, and toe-kick cavity.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the cabinetry, subfloor, and lower wall to a moisture-verified target.
Soaked cabinet materials and flooring that cannot be dried are restored once the area reads dry.
While help is on the way, these first steps, done only where it is safe, limit the damage and protect the insurance claim.
Shut the supply off at the source, or close the home's main valve if the source is not obvious. Stopping the flow limits the damage more than anything else.
Switch off electricity to the affected area, but only if the breaker can be reached without standing in or touching the water.
Get a crew dispatched right away. The sooner extraction and drying begin, the more flooring, drywall, and belongings can be saved.
Take photos and a short video of the water and the affected rooms before anything is moved, so the insurance claim starts strong.
Kitchen sink overflow cleanup in Charleston generally runs about $500 to $2,800, depending on how long the water ran, how far it spread under the cabinets and flooring, and how much material has to be dried or replaced. A quick catch costs far less than an overflow that soaked the cabinet run. Sudden overflows are often a covered homeowner claim, documented for the adjuster.
Crews reach Charleston and the Lowcountry fast, from the peninsula and Wagener Terrace to West Ashley, James Island, and Johns Island, plus nearby Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, and the barrier islands. See the full list on the areas served across Charleston page.

Because most of the water goes where you cannot see it, into the cabinet base, under the toe kick, and into the subfloor. On the surface it looks mopped up, but the hidden moisture keeps swelling the cabinetry and can feed mold in the humidity, so drying the cavity matters.
Often, if the water is extracted quickly. Solid cabinet materials dry better than particleboard bases, which swell and may need replacing. The crew dries what can be saved and restores what cannot once the cavity reads dry.
Sudden overflows and connection failures are usually covered by a standard homeowner policy, while a slow leak that was ignored may be excluded. The loss is documented with photos and moisture readings to support the claim.
As soon as you notice it. Kitchen water spreads under the cabinet run and into the subfloor within minutes, so fast extraction is what keeps the flooring and cabinetry from being ruined and mold from taking hold.
Charleston crews are on call 24 hours a day, local and fast, and can be on the way within the hour.
