How Johns Manville Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

We see the same Johns Manville spray foam issues repeat across Santa Clarita neighborhoods, from Valencia to Canyon Country. Here’s what actually goes wrong and what we do about it:

• JM Corbond III closed-cell shrinkage at rim joists. In Santa Clarita’s dry summer heat, poorly mixed Corbond III can shrink slightly at the rim joist line, pulling away from the sill plate and leaving a hairline gap that lets conditioned air escape. We remove the affected section, re-prep the substrate, and re-spray with proper temperature and humidity controls. Neil Barron has walked enough Stevenson Ranch crawl spaces to know this gap is a top culprit for mysteriously high summer cooling bills.
• JM Corbond II open-cell overspray into soffit vents. We regularly find open-cell foam that wasn’t trimmed back after installation, blocking soffit vents and choking attic ventilation. This traps heat and moisture against the JM product itself, shortening its effective life. Our crew trims, clears, and verifies airflow before we call the job done.
• JM Corbond OCX delamination from dusty substrates. Open-cell foam needs a clean, dry surface to bond correctly. When installers skip the prep and spray over sheetrock dust or old fiberglass residue, the foam can delaminate months later. We always vacuum and wipe down the substrate first, and we show you a photo of the surface before we spray.
• Uneven thickness on JM roof deck applications. A roof deck spray foam job is only as good as its thinnest point. We measure and mark target depth lines before spraying, so you don’t end up with R-value gaps that defeat the whole purpose of the product.
• Improper mixing ratios leaving sticky or brittle foam. JM’s two-component foams demand precise A-side and B-side ratios. We calibrate our equipment at the start of every job and test-spray a small area before committing, so you never get a sticky mess or a brittle shell that cracks within a season.

Our Johns Manville Spray Foam Insulation Process

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. We schedule a visit at a time that works for your family, including quiet hours if a baby is napping.
2. 2
   We inspect the space and listen. We look at the specific JM product involved, the attic or rim joist condition, and ask about any hot rooms, drafts, or dust issues you’ve noticed.
3. 3
   We hand you a written price. Not a range, not a “probably.” The exact number for the product, thickness, and scope, before we touch a single rafter.
4. 4
   We prep like the house is ours. Drop cloths go down in the hallway, shoe covers go on at the door, and the work area is protected from overspray. We lay down plastic sheeting and masking tape wherever overspray might land.
5. 5
   We spray, trim, and test. We spray the JM foam at the specified depth, trim excess around vents and framing, and check for full adhesion and coverage.
6. 6
   We clean up and prove it. We remove all protection, vacuum the area, and hand you a photo of the finished cleanup before the van pulls away. You’re covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise; if it’s not right, we make it right.
