Replacing a water damaged cabinet floor under a kitchen sink with plywood. If you have a particle board floor underneath your sink that is showing signs of water damage you can tear it out and replace it to prevent the growth of mold. The space beneath the kitchen sink is exposed to high levels of humidity and may even be exposed to water through leaky plumbing. Next put buckets under the water supply lines disconnect the lines with an adjustable wrench and remove the drainpipe with pliers.

Over time this can cause the wood under the sink to rot. This is how i replaced the sink base cabinet. If the caulk is too hard to cut hammer an old putty knife through the caulk driving it toward the sink a section at a time. We ll never understand why cabinetmakers use particleboard for the base but they do.

Let s face it it s easy to get water on the floor of your sink base cabinet. Spread an old sheet in front of the cabinet to not only protect your floors but make cleanup easier. And once it starts swelling your only option is to replace it. Plug in a light or lamp.
