Open Cell Spray Foam Removal in Bridgwater is the controlled stripping of soft, low-density polyurethane foam from roof timbers, loft decks and cavity walls. Unlike closed cell spray foam, open cell foam is breathable but still traps moisture against timber when it is applied too thickly or without a vapour barrier. We cut the foam back with oscillating multi-tools and reciprocating saws, then blast the residue off with a dry ice blasting machine or sand blasting equipment, and vacuum every particle through an industrial vacuum extraction unit. A boroscope inspection camera and thermal imaging camera confirm the timbers are clean before we finish.
