What Wet Insulation Water Cleanup Includes in Curlew

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.

How Wet Insulation Water Cleanup Works in Curlew
-
Remove standing water
Hard surfaces are vacuumed carefully so liquid does not keep migrating beneath baseboards.

Find absorbed moisture
The crew compares wet material readings with a dry area of the same building.

Remove what cannot stay
Dirty water on porous materials changes the work: contaminated pieces usually come out.
-
Dry and verify
