Repairing walls after water seepage.

I have ice daming damage (water dripping down walls, celings under floors making my hardwood cup). The contractors have cut away about 18 inches of the wall: it looked wet higher up so I stuck my hand up and the insulation was saturated. Why aren't they cutting higher up the wall?

they may be cautious, trying not to do any more damage then they have to.  did they remove the insulation or blow heated dry air into the openings?  the damming was caused by bad insulation

Thanks Profitbob.  Appreciate your reply.  The repairmen did blow air to dry the section and took out some insulation, but decided to remove it higher up anyway.  Am getting insulation checked out.  Thanks again!
