How Wet Insulation Water Cleanup Works in Harpers Ferry

1. Remove standing water

   A technician works from the wettest section toward unaffected rooms to contain the spread of water.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Cabinet cavities and subfloors receive attention where a small leak may have spread sideways.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Wood framing may need longer drying than nearby drywall; meters reveal the difference.

• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
• Photograph fiberglass batts before moving affected items.
• Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
• Move dry valuables out of the path without walking through water.
