This page is for Fremont homeowners who have Demilec spray foam, or are considering it, and want a specialist who actually knows this brand’s behavior in our local climate. We are an independent Demilec service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate. Neil Ashford and our techs have worked on Demilec jobs from older ranch houses near Niles Canyon Road to newer construction closer to the Auto Mall Parkway corridor. If your house is fighting your thermostat, insulation is usually the referee.

How Demilec Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Demilec makes solid foam. But no spray foam is perfect forever, and Fremont’s temperature swings and occasional damp winters create predictable trouble spots. Here’s what we actually see in the field:

• Heatlok HFO shrinkage at rim joists. We regularly find Heatlok HFO pulling back from the band board in Fremont homes built 5 to 8 years ago. The cause is usually installer error at the time of application, off-ratio mixing or spraying too thick in one pass, which creates internal stress as the foam cures. We remove the affected section, re-prep the substrate, and respray in proper lifts so the new foam bonds and stays put.
• Sealection 500 open-cell losing its air seal. Sealection 500 is a workhorse for attic rooflines, but if roof decking gets wet from a slow leak, the foam can detach in sheets. In Fremont’s wet winters, we’ve traced this to failed flashing rather than the foam itself. We fix the water path first, cut out the compromised foam, and respray only after moisture readings are back to acceptable levels.
• Aqualite off-gassing complaints after installation. Some Fremont homeowners notice a chemical smell for weeks after an Aqualite application. That’s often a ratio issue during install, too much B-side, that prevents full cure. We test the foam’s density and hardness, and if it hasn’t cured properly, removal and reapplication is the honest fix.
• Heatlok Soy 200 thermal drift. Older Heatlok Soy formulations can lose R-value as blowing agents escape over a decade. We see this in Fremont homes where attic temps spike above 140°F in summer. We verify with thermal imaging and, if performance has dropped, we’ll recommend either topping with additional foam or removing and replacing with current Heatlok HFO.
• Open-cell air sealing failures at top plates. Where Sealection 500 meets framed walls, poor substrate prep causes small gaps that let conditioned air slip through. We’ve fixed dozens of these in Fremont by injecting low-expansion foam into the seam and verifying with a blower door test. The homeowner usually notices because a bedroom never holds temperature.

Our Demilec Spray Foam Insulation Process

Here’s exactly how a Demilec job goes with us, from first call to final walkthrough:

1. 1
   Call and diagnosis. You call (510) 953-5663, a live person picks up, and we schedule a visit. Most Fremont homes get a same-week appointment.
2. 2
   Site assessment and moisture check. We inspect the existing foam, take moisture readings, and use thermal imaging to find air leaks and gaps. Neil Ashford trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and still runs these assessments himself on complicated jobs.
3. 3
   Parts and foam decision. For Demilec work, we use Demilec material wherever the project calls for it. When a substrate or prep product is needed, we select quality options that won’t void any existing coverage on the foam itself.
4. 4
   Prep and application. We mask surfaces, ventilate properly, and spray in the correct lifts per Demilec’s application specs. No shortcuts on mixing ratios or temperature windows.
5. 5
   Testing and verification. We re-check with thermal imaging and, on air-sealing jobs, a blower door before and after. Numbers don’t lie.
6. 6
   Cleanup and the 90-Day Done Right Promise. We leave the space cleaner than we found it. If anything isn’t right within 90 days, we make it right. Written commitment, not a handshake.
