How Wet Insulation Water Cleanup Works in Atlas

1. Remove standing water

   Portable units reach upper rooms where truck mounted equipment cannot be placed close to the loss.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A thermal camera can point toward cooler damp areas, which technicians confirm with direct readings.

3. Remove what cannot stay

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

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers encourage evaporation while dehumidifiers capture moisture from the air.

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.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Ice dams can wet ceiling cavities even without visible standing water. Moisture checks reveal the extent.
