Question:

Is it necessary to replace flooded drywall, insulation, cabinets, flooring, etc?

My home received about 8quot; of flood water in the garage and only about 2quot; in the rest of the house during hurricane IsaacA couple of weeks ago (9-weeks postflood) we punched a hole in a back room and felt around near the baseboardThe insulation was a little damp but not badThe drywall seemed sturdy and there is wood paneling on several wallsWould you suggest replacing some drywall or not because I've had two contractors say yes and one say noThe vinyl floors are coming up and a room with real wood looks water damaged tooSuggestions?

Answer:

For a classic clam bake you dig a pit in the sand (sized according to amount of food), line it with rocks and build a big fire in itAfter the fire burns down you put in layers of wet seaweed alternating with layers of clams,lobsters,potatoes and corn on the cob,cover with more seaweed and a final layer of sand-then allow food to steam cookCan't give precise details because I was never the cook, but it's not a soup.
