Over this past summer we received quite a few calls from new customers who were noticing their floors were buckling. Not really aware of the potential cause, it was something I immediately recognized as the result of either having open cell foam or inadequate insulation, such as fiberglass insulation, under their floors.
For a lot of homes, the heavy rainfall we received during the summer months was the breaking point. Underneath the house, with a potential pool of water, a period of heavy rainfall could be the breaking point of an otherwise fine open cell foam installation.
The reality and truth is this – moisture will always seek to come in the house going from a higher pressure to a lower pressure.
Check out the video below where we talk more about this quirky, but fairly common problem with open cell foam underneath homes.
