Managing Insulation Water Damage

Wet insulation becomes less effective and results in heat loss. It can be a breeding ground for mold and compromises the air quality in the home. If matted, SERVPRO® removes insulation. However, some types of insulation, like fiberglass, may be dried as they do not lose their insulating power permanently. 

Challenges during restoration

• Vapor barriers on the insulation may slow-drying
• Drying insulation within fully enclosed ceilings or walls
• Concealment by drywall necessitating removal to access insulation

Fire Damage Effect on Insulation      

In some instances, smoke residues change the appearance of insulation but may not necessarily compromise its insulating capabilities. One restoration option from SERVPRO experts is to remove and replace the top 3″ to 4″ of insulation. We ensure that the lower layer of insulation is free of smoke odor before adding a layer of new insulation. In case of severe fire damage, we remove and replace insulation.
