What Wet Insulation Flood Cleanup Includes in Stickney
Photographs and moisture readings record how far wet insulation flood cleanup spread. Those records may help explain the loss to an insurer. An insurer decides coverage using the terms of the policy.
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.
Stopping the source prevents more water from entering. The cleanup crew still needs to check how far the earlier flow traveled. Lower rooms may reveal a path from the original leak.
