It’s time to stop treating closed-cell like a “nice to have” and start treating it like a non-negotiable  in flood-prone assemblies. Floods don’t check zip codes. They don’t care about remodeling budgets, slab elevations, or whether your last job got a five-star review. All it takes is one clogged culvert during a spring thaw… and suddenly the crawlspace you sprayed last October is swimming in stormwater. And that’s when most insulation products wave the white flag. Because f

There is no cure for sensitization — only prevention. Spray foam is no joke — it’s one of the most high-performing, high-paying trades in construction. But the same chemistry that makes it such a powerful material also makes it something you can’t afford to take lightly. The core ingredient on the A-side of your rig? Isocyanates.  These are potent, reactive compounds. You can’t see them. You usually can’t smell them. And yet, exposure to them — even small amounts — can cause

If you’ve been watching Foambid from the sidelines — or you’ve just started your 7-day free trial — you probably have questions. And you’re not alone. We’ve rounded up the most common questions we hear from contractors, app testers, and folks in groups like Spray Foam World Wide to give you real, no-nonsense answers. Whether you're wondering about pricing, platform availability, data security, or accuracy — it’s all right here. Let’s dive in. ❓ What devices can I download Foa

If you spray foam for a living, you better understand what the hell you’re actually doing to that building. Let’s just say it: there’s no shortage of guys in this industry who know how to pull the trigger but couldn’t tell you the difference between a vapor retarder and an air barrier. And sure, you might get away with that on a few “easy” jobs — but sooner or later, not knowing the building science bites you. Usually in the form of a callback. Sometimes in the form of a lawy

In this industry, risk  hides everywhere. It doesn’t always wear a neon vest or wave a red flag. There comes a moment in every contractor’s career when you stand in a half‑finished building, eyes on the clipboard, gut tied in a knot. The numbers make sense. The client seems decent enough. The job could  work. But something deep inside you says, don’t touch this one . That moment defines the difference between a hustler and a professional. Because sometimes the most ethical th

When insulation fails, it doesn’t usually do so in a vacuum. It fails in the walls of someone’s dream home, or under the roof of a brand-new ag building. It fails behind the drywall, above the steel purlins, and under the radar—until it doesn't. Until there's condensation on the window, a soft spot underfoot, an energy bill that doesn’t make sense, or a customer with questions you’d really rather not answer. And when that happens—when foam underperforms, delaminates, traps mo
