Demilec Spray Foam Insulation Nationwide

Demilec Spray Foam Insulation in Campbell: What to Know First

We provide independent Demilec spray foam insulation service in Campbell, typically scheduling within 48 hours and completing most jobs in a single day. Most residential spray foam work runs between $2,800 and $6,400 depending on cavity depth and whether we’re treating open-cell or closed-cell formulations. We do not quote over the phone without seeing the assembly; we do provide a written price before any work starts, and that price does not change once set.

This page is for Campbell homeowners who have a Demilec spray foam installation that needs attention - whether it’s settling in the roof deck, shrinkage at the rim joist, or a contractor who skipped the air sealing and now the foam is doing half the job it should.

How Demilec Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Heatlok HFO Pro closed-cell shrinkage at the stud bay. We’ve pulled failed batches from Campbell homes near the Pruneyard where the HFO blowing agent reacted poorly with high summer sheathing temperatures, leaving a 1/4-inch gap at the stud edge. We cut back to sound foam, re-prep the substrate with proper moisture content, and re-apply in lifts no thicker than 2 inches to control exotherm.
• Heatlok XT spray-applied in a vented attic without air sealing first. This is the most common Demilec problem we see: a previous contractor sprayed open-cell directly onto the roof deck while the top plates and can lights below leaked like a sieve. The foam looks fine; the house still performs like it’s uninsulated. We remove or encapsulate as needed, seal every penetration with targeted foam and gasketed covers, then re-spray or supplement with blown-in depending on the assembly.
• Demilec SEALECTION 500 overspray into soffit vents. The low-pressure kit version of this open-cell product gets used by handymen who don’t mask intake vents properly. In Campbell’s older ranch homes near Campbell Avenue, we’ve found SEALECTION blocking soffit airflow and creating moisture traps. We excavate the blocked vents, restore intake paths, and re-apply only after proper baffling is installed.
• Agribalance open-cell degradation in crawl spaces with seasonal flooding. Campbell’s clay-heavy soils in the Orchard Drive area hold moisture against rim joists. Agribalance is a solid product, but when installed below-grade without a vapor barrier strategy, it can wick moisture and support mold on the surface. We pair Agribalance applications with full encapsulation - vapor barrier, dehumidification, and sealed vents - or specify closed-cell if the assembly can’t be dried.
• Heatlok Soya HFO poor adhesion to dusty OSB roof decks. The bio-based content in this formulation is less forgiving of construction dust than petroleum-based alternatives. We’ve seen 30-square-foot delaminations in new Campbell builds where the framer’s sawdust wasn’t vacuumed. Our fix: mechanical abrasion, solvent wipe if needed, primer per current Demilec technical data, then re-application with documented mil-thickness checks.

Our Demilec Spray Foam Insulation Process

1. 1
   Envelope assessment and blower-door test. We pressurize the house and record the CFM50 baseline. In Campbell’s 1960s-1980s stock, we typically see 3,500-5,500 CFM50 before any work. This number goes on your written scope.
2. 2
   Air sealing before foam. Top plates, electrical penetrations, can lights, and attic hatches get sealed with targeted foam, caulk, or gasketed covers. Seal the leaks first. The insulation has nowhere useful to go until you do.
3. 3
   Substrate prep and moisture verification. We check wood moisture content with a pin meter; Demilec specs generally want under 19 percent. Dusty or contaminated surfaces get vacuumed and primed.
4. 4
   Product selection and application. Open-cell for roof decks and sound control; closed-cell for rim joists, crawl spaces, and any assembly needing vapor retardance. We apply in controlled lifts, monitor substrate temperature, and document pass thickness.
5. 5
   Post-work blower-door test and photo record. We run the pressurization test again, print both numbers on your report, and deliver a Documented Photo Record showing before, during, and after. Under Haven Standard, you get the written warranty before we leave.
