This page is for Buena Park homeowners who already have Demilec foam in their attic, walls, or roof deck and need repair, replacement, or new installation. If your foam is pulling away from studs, cracking, or wasn’t installed with proper air sealing first, we can show you exactly what went wrong and what it’ll take to fix it. Call (562) 418-5767 for a free estimate with written pricing.

How Demilec Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Demilec Sealection 500 open-cell shrinkage in hot roof decks. In Buena Park’s inland heat, we’ve seen Sealection 500 pull back from rafter bays in unvented attics where the roof deck hits 140°F+ in summer. The foam cures tight but thermal cycling stresses the bond line. We cut back the failed foam, recondition the substrate with a compatible primer, and reinstall to the full specified thickness - usually 5.5 inches for R-19 performance.
• Demilec Heatlok HFO High Yield closed-cell delamination from OSB. Heatlok HFO’s high R-value per inch (R-7.4 at 1 inch) is excellent for rim joists and garage ceilings, but we’ve found it can delaminate from OSB sheathing when installed over a damp substrate or when the mix temperature was off during original application. We moisture-test the substrate with a pinless meter first, then either reinstall with corrected ratio settings or switch to Heatlok XT if the assembly needs higher moisture tolerance.
• Demilec Sealection Agribalance odor retention in crawl spaces. The bio-based content in Agribalance can trap musty odors if the crawl space wasn’t properly dried and sealed before application. We’ve pulled failed Agribalance jobs in the Buena Park area where the contractor skipped vapor barrier installation. Our fix: encapsulate first with a 10-mil reinforced polyethylene barrier, run a dehumidifier to 50% RH, then foam - in that order.
• Demilec APX closed-cell incomplete fill in complex framing. APX is designed for commercial-scale application, but we’ve seen residential jobs in Buena Park where the original crew rushed the pass pattern and left shadow gaps behind doubled studs and fire blocking. We use a slower lift strategy with thermal imaging verification to confirm complete coverage - no voids, no thermal bypasses.
• Demilec foam installed over unsealed attic floors. This isn’t a product failure; it’s a sequencing failure we see constantly. Demilec open-cell over a leaky attic floor just hides the problem. We blower-door test first - typically reading 3,500-5,000 CFM50 in a 1,800-square-foot Buena Park ranch built 1960-1985 - seal top plates, can lights, and chimney chases, then foam. The post-test usually reads under 2,000 CFM50. That’s the number that matters.

Our Demilec Spray Foam Insulation Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24/7. We book a site visit in Buena Park, usually within 24-48 hours.
2. 2
   Blower-door test and thermal imaging. We pressurize the house and walk it with a FLIR camera. This finds the leaks before we quote the foam work.
3. 3
   Written scope and flat price. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, you get a written price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone starts. No exceptions.
4. 4
   Air sealing first, then foam. We seal all penetrations with appropriate materials - acoustical sealant, fire-rated foam, metal flashing - then install your Demilec product to manufacturer spec.
5. 5
   Post-test and documentation. We run a second blower-door test and provide printed ACH50 readings, installed R-values, and a Documented Photo Record of the completed work.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. The warranty is in writing before we leave.

What Demilec Spray Foam Insulation Costs in Buena Park

Most Demilec spray foam jobs in Buena Park fall in these ranges:

• Open-cell attic (Sealection 500): $2.80-$4.20 per board foot, typical 1,200 sq ft attic at R-38 (10-11 inches) runs $3,400-$5,500
• Closed-cell rim joist (Heatlok HFO): $4.50-$6.50 per board foot, typical 1,500 sq ft basement perimeter runs $2,200-$3,800
• Closed-cell garage ceiling (Heatlok XT): $5.00-$7.00 per board foot, typical 400 sq ft two-car garage runs $1,600-$2,800
• Roof deck spray foam repair (cut-and-replace): $3.50-$5.50 per board foot removed and replaced, plus $800-$1,400 for substrate prep and primer

What moves the price: accessibility (steep roof pitch adds labor), extent of removal needed, whether we find moisture damage requiring remediation first, and current resin pricing. We also work with Reflectix and other brands if your assembly calls for a hybrid approach.
