Spray Foam Insulation: What Photos Should You Send for Advice?

Need help with spray foam insulation? Learn what loft, roof and paperwork photos may help EvoHome review your situation. Photos are the single most useful thing you can send for a spray foam review. Here is how to take them safely and effectively. ## Why photos help Photos give a remote reviewer a real sense of the foam coverage, depth, foam type and any visible signs of damp or installation problems.

## Safe access warning Only enter your loft if it is safe to do so. Use proper lighting, secure footing and never step on plasterboard between joists. ## Photos of foam coverage Wide shots of the loft showing the spread and continuity of the foam. ## Roof timbers and rafters Where any timber is visible, capture close-ups.

## Ventilation points Eaves, ridge vents and any visible ventilation gaps. ## Damp, condensation or mould signs If anything looks discoloured, damp or stained, photograph it clearly. ## Installer paperwork Photograph any original certificates, datasheets, guarantees or invoices. ## Survey comments Send the relevant pages or screenshots of any survey or lender comments.

## Basic measurements to include Approximate loft length, width and foam thickness if visible. ## What not to do Do not climb where it is unsafe. Do not disturb the foam. Do not take risks for a photo. ## Want us to review your spray foam issue remotely? [Start Remote Spray Foam Review](/spray-foam-insulation-help) Want to see what useful evidence can look like?
