What Wet Insulation Flood Cleanup Includes in Adelphi
Every wet insulation flood cleanup loss has its own water path. In Adelphi, the crew maps moisture and removes water from affected surfaces. The actual water source determines the first cleanup steps.
A roof leak, pipe leak or flood can soak insulation inside walls, ceilings and floors. Water can move into fiberglass, cellulose, surrounding framing and wallboard. Jobs involving wet blown in insulation, wet spray foam insulation and wet wall insulation removal need a check beyond the visible puddle.
A roof opening belongs to a roofer. Interior water that crossed ceilings and walls calls for extraction and measured drying. Stained insulation can remain damp after the ceiling dries.
