Add flash flooding at ground level and slow leaks at every penetration, and most storm damage in this county is explained. Elevation here is roughly 906 feet — enough to matter between one street and the next, never enough to make any Allgood home immune.

What Happens To Wet Drywall And Insulation?

Drywall wicks water upward past the visible waterline, and wet insulation holds moisture against the framing. That is why pros meter above the waterline before cutting anything: drywall that reads dry stays, and only the soaked section comes out.

What Does The Restoration Process Look Like In Allgood?

Extraction first. Then a drying plan written from meter readings — equipment placed room by room and adjusted at daily checks. What cannot be saved comes out and is documented: saturated padding, swollen laminate, drywall that has lost its strength. The county-wide picture is on our Blount County page.

Pros work layer by layer: drywall and insulation checked with a moisture meter and thermal imaging, the subfloor metered from above and below, water extraction for anything standing, then structural drying with air mover and dehumidifier setups. Crawl spaces get a vapor barrier check, and any roof opening gets a tarp before the crew leaves.
