Temporaire water into insulation could affect insulation and floor rafters?
 

Hello,

I did start to do an extension of my cottage.
I did create the concrete footings, 15 inches high from ground and
build the floor on top of them using 2 x 8 rafters.
I did use R28 pink insulation between rafters. I did use 2 layers of
vinyl, one under the rafters to support insulation and the other on
top. Then I did cover with plywood.
After first rain (even I did cover the floor), some water was
infiltrated between 2 layers of vinyl, where the insulation is. I did
make some holes on lower vinyl layer, to remove the water. Most part of
water poured.

My question is: Will be the water still present into the insulation?
What do you suggest to me in order dry the insulation. Or the water
will evaporate in time?
I hope this situation is present until the walls and roof are
completed.

Thanks,
Christian

Should only have vinyl on the warm (floor) side. Rip off vinyl and fasten
galvanized wire between the joists to hold in the insulation.
