Remove
Saturated insulation and mold-colonized drywall or decking are bagged and carried out through the containment.

Good to know
Mold After Roof Leak in Dorchester, MA: common questions
How do I know if a ceiling stain has mold behind it?
A musty smell, a stain that keeps growing, or drywall that feels soft are the signs growth has started behind the ceiling.
Can we wait until the roof is repaired to deal with mold?
Have the moisture assessed as soon as you see it. Waiting gives growth more time to move through insulation and framing.
