Why Restore Your Home After Spray Foam Removal?

Removing spray foam insulation is only part of the solution. The restoration process ensures that:

1. Structural Damage Is Addressed: Spray foam can cause stress on roof timbers or trap moisture, leading to rot or decay. Restoring the roof ensures its structural integrity.
2. Energy Efficiency Is Maintained: Once the foam is removed, a suitable replacement insulation is needed to prevent heat loss and high energy bills.
3. Your Home Is Mortgage-Ready: Proper restoration gives lenders confidence in your property's condition, helping you avoid complications with sales or refinancing.

Step 1: Inspecting Your Home After Spray Foam Removal

The first step in restoring your home is a thorough inspection. At Countrywide Roofing and Insulation, we assess every element of your home's insulation and roofing to identify any damage or areas needing attention. Key inspection areas include:

• Roof Timbers: Checking for rot, cracks, or warping caused by trapped moisture or pressure from the foam.
• Vapour Barriers: Ensuring proper airflow and moisture control to prevent future damp issues.
• Roofing Materials: Inspecting shingles, tiles, or underlays for any damage during the spray foam installation or removal process.

This inspection helps us create a tailored restoration plan for your home.

Step 2: Repairing Damage and Restoring Structural Integrity

Once the inspection is complete, any necessary repairs are carried out. Common restoration tasks include:

• Replacing Damaged Timbers: If roof beams or supports have been compromised, they may need to be repaired or replaced to ensure structural stability.
• Addressing Moisture Issues: Removing any damp or mould caused by trapped moisture and ensuring proper ventilation in your roof space.
• Repairing Roof Surfaces: Fixing tiles, shingles, or underlays that may have been damaged during the spray foam removal process.

Our experienced team ensures all repairs meet the highest standards, providing a strong foundation for the next step—reinsulation.

Step 3: Choosing the Right Insulation Replacement
