Roof water, wall leaks, and floor floods can saturate insulation in a concealed space. Fiberglass batts and loose fill can hold water against framing and drywall. Cases include wet blown in insulation, wet spray foam insulation, and wet wall insulation removal.
The source of a leak and its damage are separate jobs. A qualified trade fixes the source, and a water damage crew dries the structure.
