Understanding the Risks of Spray Foam Insulation: Health and Structural Damage

Spray foam insulation, though an effective solution for home insulation, can pose significant risks if not handled properly. At Lofteaze, we've seen firsthand the detrimental effects it can have on both health and home structure when removal becomes necessary.


Health Risks Associated with Improper Spray Foam Insulation

Improper installation or degradation of spray foam insulation over time can release harmful chemicals into the air, leading to respiratory issues, skin irritation, and other health concerns. These foams contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and can emit toxic gases if not adequately maintained or removed by professionals like Lofteaze.


Structural Damage Due to Deterioration

Moreover, as spray foam ages, it may lose its efficacy, causing it to shrink, crack, or pull away from surfaces. This deterioration not only compromises insulation efficiency but can also damage the structural integrity of your home. Moisture infiltration, mould growth, and pest infestations can result from compromised insulation, leading to extensive repairs and decreased property value.
