Water entering a wall, attic or floor assembly can soak fiberglass batts, blown fill, adjacent wood and wallboard. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials.

How Wet Insulation Water Cleanup Works in Martin

1. Remove standing water

   For a large indoor pool, the team first lowers the level before addressing saturated finishes.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A thermal camera can point toward cooler damp areas, which technicians confirm with direct readings.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Insulation holding water can keep a wall cavity damp even after the surface feels dry.

4. Dry and verify

   A clear drying log helps explain when the structure was ready for rebuild work.
