Signs to look for

When to call us for sink overflow cleanup

For a professional recovery, 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 a professional recovery, a typical faucet delivers somewhere between one and two and a half gallons a minute.

The countertop drained toward the front edge

Through an organized response, counters are not flat and they are not sealed at the front.

The toe kick is dark or damp at its lower edge

With a durable result in mind, the toe kick is the recessed strip at the floor under the cabinet.

The drawer stack next to the basin is wet inside

For a professional recovery, water off the counter enters the top of a drawer bank.

There is water behind the cabinet run

Through an organized response, 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 a professional recovery, laminate and floating floors swell at their edges first.

What happens

How we handle sink overflow cleanup

Our professional recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Tracing the path from the sink rim outward

For a professional recovery, countertop, cabinet face, drawer stack, toe kick void, floor, wall base and behind the run.

A moisture map that includes the floor behind the cabinets

As each stage is completed, the strip behind a cabinet run is invisible and often the wettest place in the room.

Cabinet emptied, dried and read from the inside

As each stage is completed, everything under the basin comes out and goes on dry ground.

Toe kick void opened where water is standing

With a durable result in mind, the void under a fixed cabinet has no airflow.

Extraction from under the floor covering

Through an organized response, 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 a professional recovery, a sink full of dishwater or soaking laundry is gray water.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

For a professional recovery, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. For a professional recovery, 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	Through an organized response, national estimate. As each stage is completed, 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	Through an organized response, national estimate. Through an organized response, cabinetry, a flooring assembly and a larger measured area.	$1,500 to $5,000
Sink base and toe kick void drying, one cabinet run	With a durable result in mind, 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	Through an organized response, national estimate. For a professional recovery, a second room, the joist bay above it and ceiling repair.	$2,500 to $8,000
Overflow cleanup priced by affected area, clean water	With a durable result in mind, national estimate for measured affected area, which is how most estimates are built.	$3 to $7 per square foot
Cleaning and deodorizing after gray water from a used basin	As each stage is completed, 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	With a durable result in mind, national estimate for the out of hours call out itself, before any cleanup is priced.	$100 to $400

How long the tap ran
With a durable result in mind, minutes decide gallons and gallons decide footprint.
How much of the water went into the cabinet
With a durable result in mind, water that stayed on an open floor is straightforward.
Which sink it was
For a professional recovery, 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
With a durable result in mind, plywood boxes usually dry and stay.
Flooring type and whether it comes up
With a durable result in mind, tile is forgiving.
Clean water or gray water
A basin of clean running water is a drying job. A basin that held dishes, food or soaking laundry adds cleaning and deodorizing to the professional plan.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

As each stage is completed, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

The wet area is many times the puddle

For a professional recovery, a sink base cabinet is two or three feet wide.

This cabinet gets wet from the top down as well

Through an organized response, 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

With a durable result in mind, 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

As each stage is completed, the inside of a sink cabinet is dark, still and enclosed.

Helpful service information

What to know about sink overflow cleanup

Through an organized response, start with the short explanation. As each stage is completed, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

Through an organized response, on a bathroom sink it is a small channel cast into the sink basin that bypasses a closed stopper.

Read the explanation

With a durable result in mind, the overflow drain is worth understanding, because most people trust it further than it deserves.

How the next step is decided

Through an organized response, some goes forward over the front edge onto the cabinet face and down into the toe kick void.

Read the explanation

For a professional recovery, water off a countertop takes four routes at once, and they matter more than the volume.

What may change the work

As each stage is completed, the floor surface is the easy part and it is usually dry before we arrive.

Read the explanation

As each stage is completed, drying a sink overflow is a void problem, not a floor problem. As each stage is completed, the floor surface is the easy part and it is usually dry before we arrive.

Common questions

Questions about sink overflow cleanup

Why did my sink overflow so quickly?

As each stage is completed, 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?

As each stage is completed, it helps, and it is not enough. For a professional recovery, 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 a professional recovery, most do not. As each stage is completed, kitchen and utility sinks are usually built without one, which is why a plugged kitchen basin with the tap running goes over the rim with no warning at all.

As each stage is completed, it only ran a few minutes. How is the floor this wet?

As each stage is completed, because it did not land in one place. With a durable result in mind, 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?

With a durable result in mind, 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 a professional recovery, towels and a household wet vacuum handle the counter and the open floor. With a durable result in mind, they cannot reach the toe kick void, the space behind the cabinets or under a floating floor, and that is where overflows go wrong.

Will my sink cabinet be saved?

With a durable result in mind, plywood cabinet boxes usually dry in place once the toe kick is opened and air gets into the void.
