In I contracted Advanced Insulation of North West Florida, Incto install closed-cell spray foam insulation in the attic and above the garage in my homeDuring this installation, one of their workmen stepped through my ceiling in several placesAt first, the crew denied that this had happenedI had the owner inspect the damage personally to verify the damagesI also took several photographs to document the damagesI hired a contractor with whom I was well-experienced to perform the repairs on my ceilingAdvanced Insulation paid for the cost of those repairs
When my contractor was repairing the ceiling, he noticed that an entire side of my attic was not sprayed with the spray foam insulationBecause of this, cooled or heated air was vented from my house to the atmosphere, which effectively negated any insulating properties of the work that Advanced Insulation had performedI notified the company of this and the owner himself returned to complete the job In 2015, my attic was inspected as part of the Rebuild North Florida programThe inspector noted that there were several gaps in the spray foam insulation, as well as multiple areas where the spray foam was less than the required inchesSeveral of these gaps were big enough to allow daylight into the atticThe inspector also noted that my attic was noticeably very humidIf the spray foam insulation had been properly installed, the attic should have been as comfortable as the rest of the houseThe presence of humidity was proof that the attic was not properly sealed
In essence, I have been venting heated and air-conditioned air to the atmosphere since the foam seal insulation was installed in I assumed that after two return visits by the owner, that the job was completed satisfactorily and that the attic was sealed with the inches of closed cell insulation as stated on the invoiceI did not expect substandard work from a company that claimed to be based upon Christian principles
At additional personal cost, I contracted another company to remedy this situation
