I’m unsure about a problem we’re facing over here in Florida. We’re getting calls to houses that were flooded due to hurricane Helene. receptacle's and some switches were submerged in salt water. Nobody can really get an answer from the county or inspectors on what needs to be done.

We know that any device or metal box that was submerged needs to be replaced but what do you guys think about the wire? If it’s cloth we’re replacing but we’re unsure about romex.
