Water Damage Restoration in Franklin, Provo
A slow leak under the kitchen sink often goes unnoticed because the cabinet is full of cleaning supplies. By the time anyone sees it, the cabinet floor may be swollen and mold may have started on the drywall behind it. That’s what Vault found on a Franklin job in December 2025.

A real Vault job in Franklin
- Approximate location
- Near 300 S and 500 W
- When
- December 2025
- What happened
- A kitchen sink drain connection leaked under the cabinets, swelling the cabinetry and causing microbial growth on the damp drywall.
- What Vault did
- Removal of the affected materials and drying.
Under-sink leaks and mold behind cabinets
Drain connections under a sink loosen over time, especially slip-joint fittings. Each time the sink drains, a little water escapes. The cabinet floor soaks it up, and the wall behind the cabinet stays damp, which is all mold needs.
- Check under your sinks every few months. Empty the cabinet, look for water stains or swelling, and run the water while you watch the drain connections.
- Signs of a hidden problem: a musty smell when you open the cabinet, a soft or warped cabinet floor, or dark spots on the wall behind it.
- Moldy materials are removed, not just dried. Once there is growth on drywall, the affected section is cut out, the area is cleaned and dried, and the source is fixed so it doesn’t come back.
- Mold work is covered by our 90-day mold warranty from post-remediation clearance.
If it happens in your Franklin home
- Stop the water at the fixture’s shut-off valve, or at the main if you can’t find the source.
- Stay safe. Keep away from water near outlets, cords or the electrical panel, and from any ceiling that’s sagging.
- Photograph everything before you move anything, for your insurance claim.
- Move belongings off wet floors, and leave the carpet and drywall in place so moisture readings can be taken first.
- Call (385) 250-2825. We log the time we answer and the time we arrive on your work order.

What our Franklin customers say
“A washing machine hose came loose and flooded our laundry room and part of the hallway. We cleaned up what we could, but water had already gotten underneath the flooring. The crew extracted the remaining water and set up fans and a dehumidifier. They were easy to communicate with throughout the job.”
— Daniel K., Franklin, Provo, Utah
