I live in a condo. My bathroom got destroyed by water from the next

from both my side (easy) and the outside (hard).

I would like to keep the water out of the insulation. Someone
suggested to me that i use encapsulated insulation. However, I cannot
find it anywhere. I went to my local home contractor supply stores.
None. Home Depot: None.
Lowes: The folks there did not even know what insulation was.

Is there some alternative to encapsulated insulation? Where could i
find it?

Is this an ongoing issue? :-) You could use expanding foam.

Concur with that idea. But I wouldn't do a thing until your condo board
or HOA or whatever has documented proof in hand from the neighbor, that
the problem was fixed and unlikely to recur. I presume your insurance
company is going after the neighbor for the repair costs?
