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.
