Frozen Pipe Leak Water Removal Questions in Salem
Can Salem insulation dry behind closed drywall?
Some wet insulation must be removed because it holds water and limits airflow. The crew evaluates the material on site.

Should Salem occupants move wet contents?
Move belongings only when access is safe. Photograph damaged items and keep them for insurer direction when relevant.
