Foam shrinkage causing condensation
Why it happens here
Many Shawbirch homes have closed cell foam that was installed years ago. Over time, it shrinks and pulls away from timbers, creating gaps where warm air meets cold surfaces. This leads to condensation and eventually rot.
Our approach
We remove all foam, even in hard-to-reach areas, using thermal imaging to find hidden gaps. We then treat any condensation damage and improve ventilation to prevent it recurring.
