I've found peroxide helpful too, but honestly, when water damage gets bad enough, it usually means drywall replacement or flooring repairs. Ever had to rip out and replace insulation after a storm? That's a whole other headache...
Yeah, insulation replacement is definitely a pain. Last big storm we had, I ended up stripping out soaked fiberglass insulation from the attic—itchy nightmare for days. Decided to switch to spray foam afterward, and honestly, it's been a game changer. Costs a bit more upfront, but it holds up way better against moisture. Haven't had issues since, knock on wood...
Yeah, spray foam can be great for moisture control, but have you noticed any ventilation issues since switching? I've heard some mixed reviews about airflow—curious how that's been working out for you...
- Been using spray foam about 3 yrs now—no major airflow probs yet.
- Key is pairing it with decent ventilation (ridge vents, soffits).
- Did notice attic feels tighter, but honestly, beats dealing with moldy insulation after storms...

Couldn't agree more with this point. After our last big storm, replacing moldy fiberglass insulation was both costly and frustrating. Switched to spray foam myself about two years ago, and while the upfront cost stung a bit, the peace of mind has been worth every penny. Proper ventilation definitely helps keep things balanced—good call on the ridge vents and soffits. Glad to hear it's working out well for you too.
