Hello dear community,
I visited the construction site today and noticed that the vapor barrier above had slipped into the insulation. Due to the rain, it is now soaking wet. Does it need to be replaced?
I would be very grateful for advice from an expert.
Thank you and best regards

However, the expert said that everything must be removed and replaced with new material, because after drying it no longer has the same insulating value. This has already been mentioned here as well.

How did the construction company respond? Did they simply replace it or was there a lot of back and forth? ThanksC
