What to Expect the Day of Insulation: The Epic Spray Foam crew typically arrives on-site around 7:45am to begin setting up and taking care of initial prep work. Our crew is typically ready to begin insulating and encapsulating the home around 9:30am, which is when we ask that all humans, children, and pets move out of the house for 24 hours*. Full masks and PPE (personal protective equipment) are worn by our insulation professionals for the duration of service. The entire process is typically completed within several hours on the same day. Additionally, Epic Spray Foam handles the handling and disposal of any pre-existing insulation that needs to be removed before the new insulation is applied.
Warranty: Epic Spray Foam stands behind the quality of the insulation that is installed as well as the service that our customers receive. We truly want you to be satisfied with your experience and will do everything we can to provide quality insulation and encapsulation.
*Epic Spray Foam ventilates each home and air exchanges during the insulation and encapsulation processes. The re-entry time on spray foam has improved over the years and manufacturers allow re-entry after a few hours, but it’s still the highly recommended and best case scenario for homeowners to plan on staying away overnight. This allows enough time for the air in your home to fully clear.
