Poor Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation, once a popular choice for home improvement, has been increasingly recognised for its potential health hazards and structural damage. If you're considering removing spray foam insulation from your Southampton home, Lofteaze, experts in spray foam insulation removal, can help.


Health Risks of Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam can release harmful chemicals into the air, including isocyanates, which can irritate the respiratory system, causing symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. Exposure to these chemicals can also trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, leading to skin rashes, eye irritation, and other allergic symptoms.


Prolonged exposure to the chemicals in spray foam may increase the risk of chronic health problems, such as asthma, lung disease, and cancer. It's crucial to understand that the health risks associated with spray foam insulation are not just short-term; they can have long-lasting consequences for your well-being.


Structural Damage Caused by Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam can trap moisture within the walls of your home, creating the perfect breeding ground for mould and mildew. This can lead to significant structural damage, including wood rot, weakened framing, and foundation issues. Additionally, spray foam can block air vents and ducts, hindering proper ventilation and increasing the risk of moisture buildup.


In some cases, spray foam can expand and contract with temperature changes, potentially causing damage to the foundation of your home. This can lead to cracks in the foundation, uneven floors, and other costly repairs.
