Botched Spray Foam can be Costly
Improper installation of open cell spray foam can quickly turn a homeowner’s potential dream-come-true into his or her worst nightmare. While open-cell spray foam is a fantastic product with many benefits (including increased comfort, energy savings, moisture control, and structural strength; and reduced noise) it’s only as good as its installation. Far too often, DIY jobs end up as botched spray foam. Attempts to save a few bucks by hiring any old “Chuck in a truck” end up costing the homeowner far more in the long run.
Mistakes like failure to carefully examine and evaluate the area to be sprayed, improper product temperature before spraying, and inconsistency in spraying (too thick, too thin, or leaving gaps and voids), can result in serious headaches for homeowners. Spraying over an existing termite infestation spells especially big trouble, as do other installation errors that can lead to lingering and potentially even hazardous odors and/or condensation build-up that invites mold and rot — not to mention more termites.
It’s More Than Removing Botched Spray Foam – Other Costly Damages
Sunlight Contractors recently encountered a homeowner who was living that nightmare. Shoddy, unprofessional installation of open cell spray foam left them with a happy, healthy host of termites enjoying the “moist life,” ruining areas of their crawl space wooden floor.
The good news is that the experts at Sunlight Contractors knew just what to do and were ready to help. The bad news is that undoing the damage already done is neither cheap nor easy. That’s why it’s important to have a team that knows how to remove spray foam insulation. The Sunlight team had to begin by removing every single speck of open cell spray foam that had been previously installed. To get an idea of what that entails, watch the video below. Or just think about scraping every scrap of burned cheese, pasta, and tomato sauce out of the world’s largest lasagna pan.
