Water damage in postform countertops is an issue that has existed since the product was developed. An installer can try and caulk, seal etc... till the cow's come home. The substrate under the laminate is particle board and extremely vulnerable to moisture damage. NO MANUFACTURER, fabricator or installer warranties water damage - industry standard. If you are concerned about water damage....choose another product - even self-edge laminate is a much better choice. If you research Wilsonar, Formica, Hartson-Kenndy (all major manufacturers or distributors - no warranty on moisture damage.) Your information regarding water damage is slightly incorrect.
