I was doing a draw inspection on a home this morning that was having spray foam insulation installed. I struck up a conversation with the builder who is also an insulation contractor and asked him if he would like a demonstration of the BCam to show him areas that he missed insulating. He was amazed at what he missed! We scheduled an appt. for next week when he's done insulating to go over the spots he missed. He said his spray insulation business is starting to pick up with the increase in Green Building construction.

Linus,
How can this guy miss areas with the spray foam? He can literally see where the foam is being applied in the wide open cavities. He's not spraying concealed cavities..... |

I just scanned a small area to get his attention. One area was around an electrical switch/junction box. The foam didn't seal around the corners of the box very well.

That equals a bigger bill. This is missed, that is missed and before you know it the builder may not pass his HERS Test because everybody missed something. Just a thought. Mic |
