DIY Spray Foam Insulation Can Be Unsafe if Installed Incorrectly

When installed by a professional, spray foam insulation is safe for every type of property; it will not cause any structural or health-related issues. However, this type of insulation must be installed by an expert because it can be unsafe if done incorrectly. To ensure safety, we will first inspect your property to check on the structure, layout, and ventilation system. This will help us confirm if spray foam is the right type of insulation you need. 

Then, we will check the amount or thickness of spray foam required to properly insulate the building. In most cases, we recommend that occupants evacuate the building until the spray foam has settled, which can take up to 24 hours. If you're inexperienced with applying spray foam, you will not be aware of all the intricacies of the process. Because of this, we never consider spray foam insulation a DIY project.
