Upstairs Sink Leak Ceiling Cleanup Questions in Bodega Bay

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.
Should the fixture stay off during upstairs sink leak ceiling cleanup in Bodega Bay?
Keep it unused until a plumber completes the source work. More use can rewet the ceiling cavity.
