Singapore’s humid weather and frequent kitchen use make the under-sink cabinet one of the most vulnerable areas in any home. Hidden drips from pipes, worn-out faucet seals, condensation, or minor overflows can silently cause swelling, rot, delamination, mold, and that stubborn musty smell. By the time most homeowners notice serious damage, they’re often facing full cabinet replacement costs ranging from S$2,000 to S$4,000+.

The good news? Professional under-sink cabinet repair combined with a waterproof base installation is a fast, affordable, and highly effective way to restore your cabinet and prevent future problems — saving you thousands in the long run.

Why Under-Sink Cabinets Are So Prone to Damage in Singapore

Common causes we see daily across HDB flats, condos, and landed homes include:

• Slow leaks from loose pipe fittings, corroded supply lines, or faulty gaskets
• Failed silicone sealant around the sink rim allowing water to seep underneath
• Condensation forming on cold water pipes in our high-humidity environment
• Accidental overflows and unnoticed spills
• Particleboard or low-grade plywood bases that quickly absorb moisture and break down

These issues often go undetected for months, leading to structural weakness, mold growth, and potential inter-floor leakage complaints in multi-storey buildings.

Early warning signs to watch for:

• Soft, spongy, or discolored cabinet base
• Visible swelling or bubbling on particleboard
• Musty or moldy smell under the sink
• Small puddles or dampness even when not in use

Acting early with proper repair and waterproofing can stop the damage before it becomes irreversible.

Our proven step-by-step process includes:

1. Leak Source Diagnosis — We trace and permanently fix the root cause (plumbing repairs included when needed).
2. Damaged Material Removal — Carefully remove rotted or swollen sections and treat any mold.
3. Structural Repair — Reinforce or fully replace the base panel using moisture-resistant plywood or marine-grade alternatives.
4. Waterproof Base Installation — Apply industrial-grade protective coatings and sealants, or install a custom-fit waterproof liner/tray system that contains future leaks.
5. Final Sealing & Finishing — Properly caulk around pipes, joints, and sink edges for complete water resistance; clean finish for a neat look.

This combination of repair + waterproofing creates a robust, long-term barrier that stands up to Singapore’s humidity and daily kitchen use.
