What Wet Insulation Flood Cleanup Includes in Bascom
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.
A plumber may find the broken supply component, but the leak can spread across several rooms. Moisture readings reveal the cleanup boundary. Adjacent finishes are checked for swelling and trapped water.
