Foam Is Only As Good As The Day It Was Sprayed
Bad foam hides for a season. By the second February it has pulled back from the studs, it still smells, and the room behind it is noticeably colder than the rest of the floor. Every one of those failures traces to the day of the install: a substrate that was too cold, one heavy pass instead of several lifts, or equipment that was mixing out of ratio.
So we check the substrate temperature with a thermometer before the first pass. We build thickness in lifts and check it with a depth gauge as we go. We watch the output as it sprays. None of that is a plaque on a wall. It is the routine that decides whether the foam is still tight to the rafters in ten years, and it is the same routine on a rim joist as on a whole new house.
Every Quote Names Product, Thickness And Area
A quote that says "spray foam the basement" for a single number cannot be compared with anything. Ours lists each surface separately with the product, the thickness in inches, the square footage and the price, plus the thermal barrier or coating that Ontario's code requires over foam in a living space. If you hold another quote, we will price the same scope line for line so the two can be read side by side. If ours is higher, you will be able to see exactly where.
What We Will Tell You Even When It Costs Us The Job
We will tell you when the garage door is the bigger problem than the garage walls. We will tell you when a solid masonry wall in an old house should not be foamed from the inside because it needs to dry that way. We will tell you when a crawl space floods and the foam will not fix the flooding. We will tell you when the batts already in your attic are dry and sound and only need a sealing pass under them. A contractor who sprays everything he is asked to spray is not one you want in your house.
Working Across Orillia, Severn, Ramara And Oro-Medonte
The service area is the city and the three townships around it, including the cottages on Lake Simcoe, Lake Couchiching, Bass Lake and the Severn River. Boat access, rock lots and narrow cottage roads are part of the week. The service pages describe each kind of job; the attic, basement and cottage pages cover the three we are called about most.
