Spray Foam Insulation: A Ticking Time Bomb in Your Home

Spray foam insulation was once touted as a miracle solution for energy efficiency. However, recent studies have revealed the hidden dangers lurking within this seemingly harmless material.



Health Hazards of Spray Foam Insulation

Off-gassing: Spray foam insulation releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air, which can cause a variety of health problems, including:

  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Respiratory issues
  • Eye irritation
  • Long-term health problems, such as cancer


Mould Growth: Spray foam insulation can create a perfect breeding ground for mould, especially in damp or humid environments. Mould can cause severe health problems, including:

  • Allergies
  • Asthma
  • Respiratory infections
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome


Structural Damage Caused by Spray Foam Insulation

Expansion and Contraction: Spray foam insulation can expand and contract significantly over time, putting stress on the structural components of your home. This can lead to:

  • Cracks in walls and ceilings
  • Sagging floors
  • Foundation damage


Moisture Trapping: Spray foam insulation can trap moisture, leading to rot, mould, and other structural issues.
