Spray foam insulation installed in a house can cause the homeowner significant issues, you might not be able to sell your home, you may not be able to get equity release or you may find that the structure has been severely compromised by the foam, air sealing the loft space is not a good thing to do, all roof spaces need to breathe and that is why some have tile vents, some have vented soffits, but every home has eaves and when the eaves are blocked the roof becomes susceptible to condensation, mould and as it has no ventilation, the moisture trapped in the loft cannot evaporate, most surveyors recommend spray foam removal.
Spray foam removal is important because if it isn't done properly, it can lead to a number of problems, including damage to the structure of your property, it could lead to expensive damage to the roof area, it could cause potential air flow issues, particularly if the ventilation points are not kept clear and free from spray foam insulation. We have seen some jobs where the felt is so badly damaged the roof needs to be relined or the roof has to be removed to allow for new membrane or bitumen felt to be reinstalled.
