United Spray Foam LLC – The Rise of Faulty Spray Foam Installations

United Spray Foam LLC can save homeowners 10 to 15% on their energy bills, reducing the need for climate control systems. It also seals air leaks, keeping outdoor polluted air out and breathable indoor air in, making the home more comfortable and energy efficient.

But the advancement of spray foam equipment and building codes shifting towards more efficient designs have fueled the boom, and experts say there’s been a corresponding rise in shoddy installations. Henri Fennell, a Thetford-based spray foam consultant with 25 years of experience, writes in the Journal of Light Construction that many contractors who came to the field during the 2008 financial crisis are unqualified, have little or no experience, and are lowering prices with little regard for quality.

The spray foam industry’s representatives like to say less than one-tenth of 1% of spray foam jobs go awry, but that doesn’t take into account homeowners who discover damage and mold years after the work was done, according to Jacob Deva Racusin, director of building science at New Frameworks, a worker-owned cooperative in Burlington. He says there’s a lot of faulty installation going on out there, partly because it is so difficult to inspect a house once the spray foam has been applied.

If you’re thinking about starting a spray foam business, consider enrolling in training courses and becoming a member of organizations for spray foam professionals. These organizations can help you network with others in the industry, keep you up to date on industry best practices, and provide ongoing support to ensure your spray foam insulation business succeeds.
