How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Owens Corning AttiCat blown-in fiberglass settling above unsealed top plates. In homes we work across Los Angeles, from Sherman Oaks to Baldwin Hills, the AttiCat system - a loose-fill fiberglass blown through a hose - often settles 15 to 20 percent in the first two years. When that settling occurs over an attic floor that was never air-sealed, conditioned air pumps straight through the insulation. We remove the settled material, seal every top plate and penetration with fire-rated caulk and rigid foam, then reinstall to the specified depth with fresh AttiCat or switch to a spray foam application where the roof deck configuration demands it.
• Owens Corning Foamular rigid foam board gaps at rim joists in crawl spaces. The pink Foamular XPS boards - extruded polystyrene insulation - are common in Los Angeles crawl space retrofits, but the 4-by-8 sheets rarely cut tight to irregular rim joists in 1940s and 1950s construction. Gaps as narrow as a quarter inch leak significant air. We pull the boards, seal the rim joist cavities with closed-cell spray foam to create a monolithic air barrier, then reinstall Foamular as a thermal layer only where it adds value.
• Owens Corning ProPink LooseFill L77 bridging over recessed can lights. The L77 product - a high-performance loose-fill fiberglass - is designed to achieve R-38 at 12 inches, but installers in a hurry often blow it directly over non-IC-rated recessed housings. That creates a fire hazard and an air highway. We mark every can, install sealed LED retrofit housings or proper ten-inch clearance dams, air-seal the housings with mastic, then redeploy the L77 correctly or spec open-cell spray foam on the roof deck if the attic is being converted to conditioned space.
• Owens Corning EcoTouch batts compressed in knee walls of Leimert Park ranch homes. The EcoTouch Kraft-faced batts - formaldehyde-free fiberglass with a vapor-retarder facing - are frequently stuffed into unvented knee wall cavities where they compress against diagonal roof sheathing. Compressed fiberglass loses up to 50 percent of its rated R-value. In these Los Angeles homes, we typically remove the batts, install continuous rigid air barrier on the knee wall interior, then fill the cavity with open-cell spray foam that conforms to the irregular geometry and maintains its thermal value.
• Owens Corning Raft-R-Mate baffles omitted or crushed in soffit chases. The Raft-R-Mate - a polystyrene vent baffle designed to maintain airflow from soffit to ridge - gets crushed by over-blowing or omitted entirely in hasty installs. Without that airflow path, attic moisture accumulates during Los Angeles marine layer mornings and degrades adjacent insulation. We pull the compromised material, install proper Raft-R-Mate baffles secured with spray foam adhesive, seal the plate line, then blow or spray the thermal layer to spec.

Our Owens Corning Spray Foam Insulation Process

1. 1
   Call and scheduling. A live person answers, 24/7. We book a diagnostic visit, usually within 24 to 48 hours in Los Angeles.
2. 2
   Blower-door test and visual inspection. We run a pressurization diagnostic - a blower-door test that shows, in one number, how much air your building envelope is losing. We photograph every condition, including any Owens Corning product labels we can locate.
3. 3
   Written price and scope. You get a flat price, a written scope of work, and a written warranty before anyone lifts a tool. Haven Standard Clause 1.
4. 4
   Air sealing first. Seal the holes first. Then measure the R-value. In that order. Top plates, penetrations, can lights, rim joists - sealed with fire-rated materials before any new insulation goes in.
5. 5
   Spray foam application or insulation reinstall. We deploy open-cell or closed-cell spray foam per the engineered spec, using Owens Corning materials where specified or compatible alternatives from Johns Manville, Knauf, or Icynene when the job demands it. No proprietary lock-in.
6. 6
   Final test, documentation, and walkthrough. We rerun the blower-door test, hand you the before-and-after ACH50 numbers, the installed R-value documentation, product data sheets, and a photo record of every completed assembly.
