We are neither pro spray foam nor anti spray foam.
At pv we recognize that spray foam is an insulation choice that some people make for their homes.
This spray foam is applied as a low or high pressure two component polyurethane spray foam that can be applied onto walls in unvented attics to ducts and ceilings and in vented attics and crawl spaces.
However positive pressure can force dusty smelly attic air into your living space through unsealed air gaps.
Stay away from slippery surfaces.
Use a ladder carefully.
The attic isn t getting much ventilation so humidity can accumulate inside.
Sometimes sealing the top plate in a spray foamed attic can create humidity problems.
Mold in the attic or anywhere for that matter can be a health and safety hazard when you spot it you have to act fast.
You increase the amount of usable space inside your home.
Be aware of the falling debris when you pressure wash.
