How Demilec Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Demilec makes solid foam, but no product is perfect forever. In Fullerton’s climate, where summer attic temperatures routinely push past 140 degrees and winter nights dip into the low 40s, certain failure patterns show up more than others. Here’s what we actually see on Demilec jobs in the field:

• Sealection 500 open-cell moisture retention. Open-cell foam is breathable by design, but in Fullerton’s older ranch homes, we often find Sealection 500 that’s been dampened by roof leaks or bathroom exhaust fans vented into the attic instead of outside. The foam holds moisture against the framing, and homeowners notice a musty smell or peeling paint near the ceiling. We remove the affected section, dry the framing, fix the venting problem, and re-spray with fresh Sealection 500.
• Heatlok HFO thermal shrinkage at rim joists. Closed-cell foam can pull slightly away from the rim joist as it cures, especially when it was sprayed too thick in a single pass. In Fullerton basements and crawl spaces, homeowners spot gaps or feel drafts near the band board. We identify the gap, cut it back cleanly, and re-apply Heatlok HFO in proper lifts so the foam bonds correctly and stays put.
• Heatlok Soya off-ratio mixing in DIY or rush jobs. When closed-cell foam is installed by a crew rushing through a job, the A and B components don’t mix at the right ratio. The result is foam that looks fine on the surface but stays spongy, has an off odor, or never fully hardens. We’ve pulled out Demilec foam in Fullerton garages and attics that you could dent with your thumb. Fixing it means removing the bad material entirely and starting fresh with properly calibrated equipment.
• Agribalance fire-retardant compromise after water exposure. Agribalance is a good open-cell option with a bio-based formulation, but it’s not built for sustained water contact. In Fullerton homes with leaky condensate lines or roof flashing problems, we’ve seen the foam degrade and lose its integrity in soaked areas. The fix involves sourcing the leak, removing compromised foam, and treating the area before re-application.
• Spray foam roof deck delamination on Fullerton re-roofs. When Demilec foam is applied directly to the underside of a roof deck, then the roof is later replaced, the new roofer’s nails and heat can break the foam’s bond. Homeowners discover this years later during an energy audit or a crawl-up inspection. We address it by re-sealing the foam, re-adhering loose sections, or spot-treating with compatible Demilec product where needed.

Our Demilec Spray Foam Insulation Process

Every Demilec job we do in Fullerton follows the same path, and we don’t cut corners on any of it:

1. 1
   You call and talk to a person. No phone trees, no voicemail. You tell us what’s going on, and we schedule a time that works for you. If you have an estimate from another company, bring it, we’ll give you a free second opinion.
2. 2
   We inspect the space. Walt or one of our background-checked technicians comes out and looks at your attic, rim joists, garage ceiling, or roof deck. We check moisture levels, air seal gaps, and the condition of any existing insulation.
3. 3
   We give you a straight quote. You get a written price before any work starts. We’ll walk you through what you need and what you don’t. No upsells, no scare tactics.
4. 4
   We prep and spray. We protect the surrounding areas, seal off the work zone, and run the Demilec system exactly according to manufacturer specs. Proper temperatures, proper mixing ratios, proper lift thickness.
5. 5
   We test and clean up. After the foam cures, we inspect for gaps, soft spots, or coverage issues. We leave the space cleaner than we found it. That’s just how we work.
6. 6
   Done Right Promise applies. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. Lifetime workmanship, no fine print runaround.

What Demilec Spray Foam Insulation Costs in Fullerton

Spray foam pricing in Fullerton depends on the square footage, depth, and whether you’re doing open-cell or closed-cell. Here’s what we typically see:

• Rim joist spray foam (Heatlok HFO): $1,200 to $2,800 depending on the size of the home and access.
• Garage ceiling spray foam (open-cell Sealection 500): $1,800 to $3,500 for a typical two-car Fullerton garage.
• Attic roof deck application (closed-cell Heatlok HFO): $4,500 to $9,500 depending on square footage and roof pitch.
• Partial removal and re-spray of failed Demilec foam: $2,000 to $6,000 depending on how much material needs to come out.

What moves the price most is access. Fullerton homes with low-slope roofs, tight attics, or lots of existing insulation take longer. We also factor in whether old foam needs to be cut out and disposed of. Every quote is itemized and you’ll see the line items before you sign anything.

Why Fullerton Homeowners Call Walt’s Insulation for Demilec Work

We’ve been doing insulation since 2000, and we’re the one down the road, not an 800 number. Walt Brenner started this company because he got tired of seeing contractors promise one thing and deliver another. That hasn’t changed. Every Fullerton job gets a background-checked, uniformed technician who knows Demilec products specifically, not just spray foam in general. If Demilec isn’t the right fit for your situation, we’ll tell you, and we can also work with Reflectix or other brands where they make more sense. But the real reason people call us is simple: when something goes wrong later, you know exactly who to call. And we answer.

We do the job right the first time - because we’re the ones who have to stand behind it.
