The cabinet floor may show a stain, but water often follows its lowest route. It can settle under the toe kick, travel toward a dishwasher opening, or soak the subfloor beneath a kitchen finish. Composite cabinet panels swell quickly when their edges absorb water and may not regain their strength after drying.
A stain below an upstairs sink can show water has crossed the floor assembly. The plumber stops the source, and a restoration worker checks the lower ceiling.
