Mortgage & Insurance

Understanding how spray foam affects your mortgage eligibility and insurance coverage - and how we can help restore both.

Mortgage Lending Issues

Why Lenders Are Concerned

  • Structural Inspection: Foam prevents proper assessment of roof timbers and structural elements
  • Moisture Risk: Potential for condensation and water damage behind foam
  • Building Standards: Many installations don't meet current building regulations
  • Future Maintenance: Inability to maintain or repair roof structures
  • Removal Costs: Potential expensive remediation required

Insurance Coverage Issues

Insurance Concerns

Many insurance providers are now excluding or restricting coverage for properties with spray foam insulation due to:

Risk Factors
  • Moisture-related damage
  • Fire safety concerns
  • Pest infestation risks
  • Maintenance difficulties
Common Exclusions
  • Water damage claims
  • Structural damage
  • Roof-related issues
  • Policy non-renewal
Real Example

"Our insurer refused to renew our policy when they discovered spray foam during a routine inspection. We had 30 days to remove it or find alternative cover."
