How Wet Insulation Flood Cleanup Works in Bomoseen

1. Remove standing water

2. Map moisture

   The crew measures porous materials before deciding what can remain. The water category affects material decisions.

3. Remove soaked material

   Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.

4. Dry and verify

   A technician records progress before equipment is removed. Rebuild planning follows the final dry-out check.
