Professional Spray Foam Removal Services - Safe & Complete Extraction

Closed cell spray foam presents significantly more complex removal challenges compared to its open cell counterpart, often requiring extensive structural work to extract safely and completely. This dense, rigid foam bonds extremely strongly to roof timbers, felt, and tiles, making removal from inside the loft space virtually impossible without causing substantial damage. Closed cell spray foam removal typically requires removing roof tiles and replacing the underlying felt, as the foam bonds so tightly that separation without damage is not feasible. In cases where the spray foam has been applied directly onto roof tiles, the adhesion is so strong that complete roof replacement becomes the only viable solution.

The removal process is labour-intensive, costly, and often more expensive than the original installation. Insurance companies and mortgage lenders are particularly wary of properties with closed cell spray foam due to these removal complexities and associated costs. The foam's impermeability can also trap moisture between layers, potentially causing hidden structural damage over time. At Homestar Improvements, we provide honest assessments of closed cell spray foam situations, explaining the full scope of work required and helping property owners understand their options for safe, complete removal and roof restoration.
