wet cabinet?

[Guest guest]

The bathroom toilet water line leak while we were away. The window was slightly

open when the outside temperature was around 20- 30 F and indoor thermastat was

set to 52 F.

It causes the ceiling of the kitchen downstairs to drip water. Three spots of

the cabinets also showed signs of water. The restoration company came in, used

thermal camera to check, opened up the ceiling a few places to put in dry air.

After three days the big machines were taken away.

I did a moisture check on the cabinets with a moisture meter. There are two

sides of the same cabinet are wet, one side even has bulked out. Although the

rest of the cabinets tested to be fine. I asked the restoration company to come

back to check again, they told me the moister meter is not accurate, and he

believes the cabinets are now All dry, it is impossible to just have two sides

of cabinets wet and all the rest are fine. Instead of taking the questionable

cabinet down and look at it, he made a hole behind the cabinet and did an swap

and air collection for mold testing. The Wet cabinet in the first floor kitchen

is under a suspected leaking pipe on the roof, the pipe was replaced now.

However, the second floor , which is directly under the pipe did not get any

visible problems.

Is it necessary to take the cabinet down to check this? It has been tested Wet

for about a month now.
