Closed Cell Foam


Closed cell foam is called closed cell foam because when it hits the surface to which is is applied, the molecule expand to a fixed size. The result is a dense, tough, sound resistant insulation.

Open Cell Foam


Open cell foam feels just like a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It is soft, spongy and very pilable.

WATER is part of the problem!


When it comes to Spray foam in our area - Just Say NO! 


Whenever we have encountered a Spray Foam Insulation operator, or a product representative, they seem to avoid the main question: Where does water go when a leak happens and you have spray foam insulation?

WATER is a major conducive condition for termites. What you see in the pictures below is what happens when there is a water leak in an attic with spray foam insulation. In this particular case, some 4-legged creature(s) (possum, racoon, host of squirrels, etc.) had been making their homes in the insulation. Clearly, it also had some major blood loss. There were more than 7 spots in the house where water leaked in and resulted in the blood splatter you see above.

We did not take a picture of where the water had collected between the paint and the drywall. We were afraid the flash would make the enormous tear drop full of water explode!
