Tips For A More Efficient Spray Foam Insulation Job

 

If you’re trying to grow your business as a spray foam contractor, look for ways to make your foam applications more efficient. If you can complete jobs faster with the same quality, you will have more satisfied clients. Then, you can complete more jobs in the same amount of time. Here are some tips to achieve more efficient spray foam insulation jobs.

Upgrade to a High-Pressure System

If your current insulating process seems to take longer than necessary, it could be due to your equipment. You may need to upgrade your insulation system or change your model altogether. For example, if you’re using a low-pressure spray foam system to insulate large buildings and homes, your foam output rate won’t be high enough to cover the areas in a timely manner. Consider upgrading to a high-pressure system, such as an electric or hydraulic system, for a higher foam output.

Clean and Maintain Your Equipment After Every Use

Cleaning your spray foam equipment and parts after every use is key to ensuring an efficient application for your next job. Spray foam that you fail to flush will cure and harden in your foam hoses, gun, and other parts, which can cause issues during jobs.

Maintaining your equipment will prevent pressure imbalances and other issues you’ll need to troubleshoot on-site. When such issues occur, you’ll need some troubleshooting tips for professional contractors so you can address them.

Protect Your Application Site

Intricately removing and cleaning foam overspray after your application will take much longer than protecting the site beforehand. Always cover areas that you or your client don’t want to insulate, such as light fixtures, power boxes, flooring, and furniture. Protective tarps and coverings will prevent overspray from covering these areas. As a professional spray foam contractor, it’s important to protect yourself and your surroundings before starting an insulation job.

Now that you know these tips for more efficient spray foam jobs, you can upgrade your services and be available for more services. More time to schedule spray foam jobs and more satisfied customers can help your business grow in both revenue and reputation.
