| We had Open cell Spray Foam insulation blown into our new home. Now we have a leaf in the roof and it's coming from the Roof, through the foam insulation, onto the ceiling in the 3 season porch, and then onto the tile floor.
If Open Cell insulation gets wet in an attic, will it absorb the moisture and does it need to be ripped out?

| the open cell allows the moisture to pass through once the leak is stopped the insulation will dry. builder should replace any insulation removed. water runs down..its a gravity thing, the leak is prolly best of luck best of luck. |
