How Wet Insulation Water Cleanup Works in Shongaloo

1. Remove standing water

   For a large indoor pool, the team first lowers the level before addressing saturated finishes.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Pin and pinless meters show whether the Shongaloo floor still holds water below its finish.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Opening a trapped assembly gives air a path to the wet material inside.

4. Dry and verify

   A clear drying log helps explain when the structure was ready for rebuild work.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A ceiling leak may wet insulation above a visible stain. Inspection and material removal where needed prevent a hidden cavity from staying damp.

• Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
• 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.
