Survey concerns

Survey problems often turn spray foam into a financial issue

Spray foam may not become a visible issue until a professional survey is carried out. The report may raise concerns about roof timbers, ventilation, inspection limits or future marketability.

If the survey affects the sale, valuation or mortgage position, the homeowner may be left with unexpected costs or a property that is harder to move on.

A careful review should look at what the installer promised, what the surveyor found and whether the risks were explained before the installation.

Keep the complete report, not only a screenshot of one paragraph.
