Hot Attic Spray Foam Smell

I have been to many various doctors now i m seeing a environmental doctor.

Hot attic spray foam smell.

We climbed into his sealed attic stillno smell. A attic guy thinks its the spray foam. On a hot humid summer afternoon if by chance you get a whiff of spray foam smell while walking down the upstairs hall it s easy to manage. Turn your oms fan on.

Also that day cellulose was put in the attic. The solution generally involves some combination of isolating the stinky attic air replacing attic air with indoor air ventilating your living space and aggressively filtering the air moving through. You can t remove spray foam and you can t make stinky spray foam quit stinking. Sealed his attic with spray foam.

A fire retardant paint was then applied over the spray foam. However you usually can keep the bad smell out of your home. Rafters were insulated with open cell spray foam to create a conditioned space since an air handler gas fired furnace are in the attic. I had spray foam insulation put in my rim joists in my basement on august 29 2016.

The smell in the house was hardly noticeable and even in the attic it just smelled like a fresh coat of paint. We opened the pull down attic stair no smell. As i entered his home i could not smell our foam. I walked upstairs 2 story home with him no smell.

The paint odor was very bad at first the owner was told the smell would subside but it hasn t in 2 years is especially strong in summer. My face has been swelling since. He couldn t smell the foam either.
