Possible Repair Scenarios for Leakage at Buffet Unit Base

Based on inspection, water leakage at the bottom of the buffet cabinet may be caused by one of the following conditions:

Option 1: Minor Surface Water Ingress / Cleaning Water Seepage
Scope of Work:
Inspect surrounding area for external water sources, dry affected surfaces, apply sealing at joints between floor and cabinet base, and improve edge protection to prevent future seepage.

Option 2: Silicone / Joint Seal Failure (Back or Counter Edge)
Scope of Work:
Remove deteriorated silicone at backsplash, countertop joints, or wall connections, clean and dry all surfaces, apply new waterproof silicone sealing to prevent water penetration behind the cabinet.

Option 3: Internal Plumbing Leak (Hidden Line Behind Cabinet)
Scope of Work:
Inspect internal plumbing lines (if any behind or within the unit), identify leakage point, repair or replace damaged pipe or fittings, and conduct leak testing after repair.

Option 4: Water Seepage from Countertop Surface or Equipment Area
Scope of Work:
Check for water spillage or seepage from equipment placed on countertop, reseal stone joints if required, improve water barrier at edges, and ensure proper drainage or containment.

Option 5: Cabinet Base Water Damage / Absorption Issue
Scope of Work:
Inspect cabinet base for water absorption or swelling, dry affected areas, treat or reinforce base structure, and apply protective sealing to prevent further damage.

Option 6: Major Access Required (Dismantling Cabinet Sections)
Scope of Work:
Carefully remove or open sections of the buffet cabinet to access hidden areas, locate and repair leakage source, reinstall components, and ensure proper sealing and finishing.

Note:
Final repair method will depend on detailed on-site findings. We will always proceed with the least invasive and most cost effective solution first.
