How Demilec Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• Heat Lok HFO shrinkage at rim joists. Demilec’s Heat Lok HFO is a closed-cell foam we see a lot in San Jose crawl spaces and rim joists. When it’s installed too fast or in cold substrate conditions, the foam can pull back from the framing after cure, leaving a hairline air gap that defeats the air seal. We cut out the failed band, re-prep the surface, and re-spray with proper substrate temps and pass thickness.
• Sealection 500 open-cell density issues. Sealection 500 is an open-cell Demilec foam often used in San Jose attic rooflines. If the installer runs the proportioner at the wrong temperature, you get soft, crumbly foam instead of the firm, resilient texture it should have. Homeowners usually notice it when they poke the foam and it flakes. Fixing it means removing the under-cured section and re-spraying, which is not a patch job.
• Squeaky roofline foam delamination. On San Jose homes with spray foam applied directly to the roof deck, we occasionally see Demilec foam separate from the sheathing after a few hot summers. The San Jose heat cycles between 40-degree winter nights and 105-degree attic days cause the wood to expand and contract enough that poorly adhered foam loses its bond. We remove the delaminated area, ensure the deck is dry and clean, and reapply with proper primer where needed.
• Odor complaints from off-ratio foam. If a Demilec job was sprayed off-ratio, the foam never fully cures and can off-gas a fishy or chemical smell for months. Homeowners in Willow Glen and Rose Garden have called us about this exact issue after a low-bid install. The fix is full removal of the affected foam and a proper re-spray, not air fresheners or ventilation tricks.
• Overspray on can lights and framing. Demilec foam expands aggressively, and if the installer doesn’t mask properly, it ends up where it shouldn’t be: on recessed light housings, bathroom fan boxes, and exposed framing. This is more common with Heat Lok HFO because of its high expansion rate. We mechanically remove the overspray, inspect the fixtures for heat damage, and re-insulate the area cleanly.

Our Demilec Spray Foam Insulation Process

1. 1
   The call. You talk to a live person, day or night. We ask what you’re seeing, what part of the house is involved, and when you noticed it.
2. 2
   The inspection. We come out, go up into the attic or crawl space, and actually look at the foam. We check density, adhesion, thickness, and coverage. Then we tell you exactly what we found, in plain English.
3. 3
   The written price. Before any work starts, you get a line-item written price. No verbal ballparks that turn into surprises. The number you see is the number you pay.
4. 4
   The work. We decide with you whether OEM Demilec material or a quality aftermarket equivalent fits the job. If Demilec’s warranty is still active, we use OEM so you don’t void anything. If it’s an older install out of warranty, we’ll recommend whichever product actually performs better for your specific application.
5. 5
   The test. We verify the foam cured correctly, check for gaps with a thermal scan where it matters, and confirm the air seal is doing its job.
6. 6
   The guarantee. Every Demilec job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, covering labor and materials. If anything fails within a year, we come back and fix it free.

What Demilec Spray Foam Insulation Costs in San Jose

Here are real ranges for the Demilec work we do around San Jose:

• Open-cell (Sealection 500) attic roofline: $1.50 – $2.50 per board foot. A typical 1,200-square-foot San Jose rancher roofline runs $4,800 – $8,000.
• Closed-cell (Heat Lok HFO) rim joist and crawl space band: $2.75 – $4.50 per board foot. Most rim joist jobs land between $1,800 – $4,200 depending on linear footage and access.
• Garage ceiling spray foam: $2,000 – $4,500 for a standard two-car garage, including prep and cleanup.
• Partial removal and re-spray after a failed install: Add 30 – 50% over new-install pricing because removal labor is real work.
