How Do Tornadoes And Storms Flood Auburn University Homes?

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 Auburn University?

The sequence is extraction, drying plan, daily verification. Equipment is placed from moisture readings, not guesswork, and moved as the readings change. Materials that cannot dry — soaked carpet padding, swollen laminate, crumbling drywall — are removed and documented. The county-wide picture is on our Lee County page.

Expect real equipment, not a mop: water extraction first, then structural drying — an air mover and a dehumidifier per wet room — guided by moisture meter readings and thermal imaging. Crews also open wet drywall and insulation where needed, check the subfloor, inspect the crawl-space vapor barrier, and tarp a damaged roof the same visit.
