The answer depends on whether moisture is trapped beneath or behind them. A technician checks toe kicks and cabinet bases before deciding on access. Limited opening may be enough in some kitchens.
Can kitchen slab leak cleanup affect wall bases in Morris?
Yes. Water can wick into drywall and trim at the floor edge.
