What insulation could I most easily fit back into this drywall hole?
We had a broken hose bib that leaked down into the basement. Plumber made a hole in the wall. Since the insulation between the studs was still wet three days after the leak was fixed, I thought I should pull it out given mold risk and to allow the drywall, etc. to fully dry. The insulation I pulled out were r11 fiberglass batts from each side (home built in 1985). Any suggestions for what insulation would most easily go back inside the wall in the two stud openings given limited access space (see photo)? Picture included. Would batt or roll work better in this case? Thank you. https://preview.redd.it/l6nvmw1kss5f1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cacd717834c1ef04b3280f6a19e6885e56911376 submitted by /u/alpinecycle32 [link] [comments]
