Plumbing Leak Cleanup in Henderson, NV
We're the water damage side of a plumbing leak, not the plumber. Call a plumber to fix the pipe or fitting. Call us for what the leak soaked: the cabinet base, the wall behind the toilet, the baseboards and the flooring. We find the wet material, dry it and rebuild what can't be saved.
The leaks we see most in Henderson homes are slow ones. A drip from an angle stop, a toilet supply line or a sink drain can run for weeks before a stain or a soft floor gives it away. Hard water wears fixtures and fittings here, so it's worth looking under your sinks now and then.

What people want to know after finding a hidden leak
Most of these leaks get found by accident, when someone reaches under the sink or notices the baseboard.
Do I call you or a plumber?
Both, for different things. If the leak is still going, call the plumber first so they can fix it. We handle the wet cabinet floor, the swollen baseboard and the drywall behind the toilet. You don't have to wait for the repair to be finished before we start drying.
It's been leaking for a while. Is it too late?
No. But a slow leak usually spreads farther than a fast one. Water that drips for weeks wicks up the drywall and soaks into the particleboard under the sink. We measure until we find the dry edge, then plan from there.
Is that smell under the sink mold?
Maybe. A musty smell after a hidden leak usually means something has stayed wet long enough to grow. We'll check it. If there's visible growth on the cabinet or wall, that part gets handled as mold, not a simple dry-out.
Why is my floor wet in a room with no pipes?
Water follows the easiest path. A leaking drain line or toilet supply can travel under the baseboard and through the bottom plate of the wall, then show up in the next room. The meter tells us where it started getting wet.
Will my cabinets have to come out?
Sometimes. The cabinet floor under a sink is usually particleboard, and once it swells it doesn't go back. If the sides and face are sound, we can often dry behind the cabinet and replace only the base panel.
How much does it cost? Will insurance pay?
Water mitigation in the Las Vegas Valley usually costs $1,500 to $4,800. That covers getting the water out, drying the structure and checking it with moisture meters until the readings are back to normal. If drywall, baseboards or flooring had to come out, the repairs are a separate estimate, so you see each part on its own.
For a plumbing leak, time is what moves the price. A leak caught the same day is usually a cabinet and a patch of wall. One that dripped for weeks means more drywall, a cabinet floor that swelled and maybe flooring in the next room.

Insurance or self-pay, you decide
Insurance usually pays when the water came on suddenly, like a supply line that split overnight. A leak that dripped for months usually isn't covered. Your carrier makes that call, not us.
We handle the record: photos, moisture readings and a line-item estimate built in Xactimate, the same software most adjusters use. Then you compare it with your deductible and decide whether to file.
Get the plumber's invoice in writing and ask them to note what failed. It helps your carrier understand whether the leak was sudden or ongoing.
Paying yourself? Ask about the self-pay discount. The estimate is free, and you see the price before we start.

How we clean up after a plumbing leak
- 1
Confirm the leak is stopped
The angle stop under the sink or behind the toilet closes that one fixture. If it won't hold, or if the leak is in the wall, shut the main and call a plumber.
- 2
Find every wet spot
We read the cabinet base, the wall behind it, the baseboards and the floor in the rooms next door. Slow leaks travel along the bottom of the wall.
- 3
Pull what won't dry
The area gets sealed off with plastic first. Then swollen cabinet bottoms, wet carpet pad and wet drywall come out. Tile and framing usually stay and get dried.
- 4
Dry the cavity
Dehumidifiers and air movers run with the wall or cabinet opened enough for air to reach the wet wood. We read it every visit.
- 5
Put it back
Drywall patched and painted, baseboards reset, cabinet base replaced. Your plumber's new fitting stays accessible.
The wet spot is almost never on top of the broken pipe.
Water under a slab travels along whatever path it can find. By the time it surfaces, it has usually moved several feet sideways.
We trace the actual wet area with moisture meters and thermal imaging so the spot repair targets the right place instead of becoming a guessing game.
The EPA's building guidance treats plumbing systems and verification checks as part of a complete building moisture-control plan .
If a line split and water came out all at once, that's a different job. See our burst pipe cleanup page for high-volume breaks.
What's included
The plumber's part ends when the pipe holds. Ours starts with the wet material and ends when it's rebuilt.
What we do
- Moisture readings in the cabinet, the wall and the rooms next to it
- Removing swollen cabinet bases, wet pad and damaged drywall
- Drying the wall cavity and subfloor with equipment and readings
- Checking for mold where a leak ran for a long time
- Photos and a line-item estimate for your carrier
- Patching drywall, resetting baseboards and replacing the cabinet base
What we don't do
- Fixing the pipe, drain, fitting or valve. That's a plumber.
- Finding a leak inside a slab. A plumber with leak-locating gear does that.
- Installing leak sensors or automatic shutoff valves.
Plumbing leak cleanup questions
How do I clean up water damage from a plumbing leak?
Stop the leak, dry off what you can see, and pull everything out of the cabinet so it can air out. That handles the surface. The water inside the wall or under the flooring needs meters and drying equipment to find and get out.
What does plumbing leak cleanup cost?
Small under-sink or toilet leaks often fall at the low end of the $1,500 to $4,800 dry-out range. Leaks that ran long enough to reach flooring and a second room cost more. Replacing drywall or a cabinet is extra, and the free estimate spells it out.
Does insurance cover a slow plumbing leak?
Often not. Most policies cover sudden water, and a drip that went on for months usually gets treated as upkeep. A supply line that failed suddenly is a different story. Your carrier decides. Our photos and readings show what we found and where.
How fast can an under-sink leak do damage?
A fully open angle stop can move 4 to 5 gallons a minute, so a failed line under the sink floods the kitchen quickly. Most under-sink leaks are slower drips. Those are the annoying ones, because you may not notice the damage until the cabinet floor is soft.
