After a flood, many homeowners hope to dry out wet insulation and move on—but that’s a dangerous gamble. At Siouxland Restoration Inc., we’ve helped countless homeowners in Sioux City, IA avoid hidden hazards by fully replacing flood-damaged insulation.

Why Wet Insulation Is a Problem:
Floodwater is rarely clean. It often contains bacteria, contaminants, or even sewage. Once it soaks into fiberglass or cellulose insulation, these porous materials trap moisture and microorganisms, creating a perfect environment for:

• Mold growth
• Foul odors
• Deteriorating air quality
• Structural rot behind walls or under floors



Why Drying Isn’t Enough:
Even industrial fans and dehumidifiers can’t guarantee a complete dry-out deep inside wall cavities. The surface may feel dry while the core remains damp. This hidden moisture can lead to serious problems weeks or months later.

Professional Restoration = Full Replacement:
At Siouxland Restoration Inc., we remove all water-damaged insulation, dry the cavities thoroughly, treat the area with antimicrobial agents, and install new, clean insulation. This ensures long-term safety and efficiency for your home.

Don’t settle for a surface fix. If your Sioux City home has suffered flooding, trust Siouxland Restoration Inc. to restore your insulation the right way—by removing the risk, not just hiding it.
