Yes. A drip can wet the cabinet and pass through the floor around plumbing penetrations. Repeated wetting may spread beyond the first ceiling mark. The crew measures that path instead of judging it by the puddle size.

A hidden recess may keep draining after the visible cabinet floor is wiped. The plumber also checks whether the fixture still leaks. The extraction specialist reaches remaining pooled water before drying begins.

Removal depends on saturation, contamination and access. The crew opens affected material when drying in place is unsuitable.
Should the fixture stay off during upstairs sink leak ceiling cleanup in Yulee?
Keep it unused until a plumber completes the source work. More use can rewet the ceiling cavity.
