It is first worth noting there are two types of spray foam (Opencell & Closed Cell) this refers to the compound structure and finish of each system.
Opencell widely is considered to be the better or less risky of the two because it’s “supposedly” vapour permeable.
However, this still has its problems but not as negative as Closed Cell which sets hard or ridged therefore cutting off airflow to timbers and traps moisture.
The level of issues is very much dependant on the application of each type of spray foam. Coupled with this another factor is what prior installation diligence has been carried out.
Unsure which type of spray foam you have please get in touch with us today.
Unfortunately as a company we come across these situations on a daily basis and are important considerations and can increase risks even further
Spray foam is very flammable putting your property and anyone living in it at much higher risk.
Spray foam has been known to cause damage to the structure of your roof by not allowing it to breathe, which can result in rotting. Most of the time this will be hidden behind the foam itself.
Spray foam contains Isocyanates which are powerful irritants to the mucous membranes of the eyes and gastrointestinal and respiratory tract.
Because of the dangers associated with spray foam insulation, mortgage companies may not lend for properties with spray foam installed.
Just like mortgages, your provider will more than likely check your property for spray foam insulation and can refuse to release equity on this basis.
