Moisture clues
Five observations that shape this decision
Keep each item as evidence for the call. None of these observations establishes a hidden cause by itself.
Handle movement
Watch for moisture only during normal rotation or lifting.
Base perimeter
Dry the deck first so a new wet edge is easier to locate.
Supply connections
Observe accessible lines from outside the cabinet and avoid forcing valves.
Drain area
Keep basin drainage and faucet delivery in separate notes.
Problem pathway
Move from the visible clue to supported work
Compare hot and cold during ordinary use and stop if cabinet water grows. Ask whether the proposed work addresses an internal component, full faucet, supply, mounting seal, or separate drainage issue.
