What Wet Insulation Water Cleanup Includes in Owls Head
A Owls Head crew uses meters during wet insulation water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
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. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.
