        "text": "In most cases, wet insulation will not dry out effectively on its own, especially if it's fiberglass or cellulose, which tends to retain water. Without proper air circulation and professional drying equipment, moisture remains trapped, leading to mold growth and continued structural damage. Removing wet insulation is often necessary to ensure complete drying of the wall cavity, prevent secondary damage, and allow for proper cleaning and sanitation. Professional restoration services use specialized equipment to assess moisture levels and determine the best course of action.",
