Hi,

Noticed a strange thing today. There are two shelves in my under sink
cupboard and they are drenched right through the chipboard but the
laminated surfaces are bone dry. I can't seem to find any leaking
pipes, but also I can't work out how to take the units apart. I live
in a housing association property so I'll contact them in the morning.
Just seems odd how the woods wet inside but the outside is dry.

Very common to have a leak which soaks the chipboard core, but evaporates
from the melamine finish. Usually the damp chipboard smells. Could have
been a leak ages ago, the chipboard core takes yonks to dry out.
