Recently had my new barndominum pole barn house spray foamed. The installer sprayed directly into the tin. Temperatures here ranged from -3 celcius to +5 celcius ( 26 F - 41 F ). I'm from Canada.
Here's where the problem starts. Every 4 feet where the poles are, the spray foam has expanded behind the poles , pushing against the tin making a bulge on the whole outside. He stated the foam he uses only takes 5 seconds to fully expand. So doesn't believe he sprayed to fast to trap it behind the poles with no where else to expand but out was.
Second problem. I peeled back a few pieces of the tin. The tin had no problem pulling away from the foam. It was slightly stuck but i can definitely pull the sheets off by hand easily. Should it not be stuck to it like glue?
The installer is trying to figure out why the foam did that and also why it did not adhere to the tin. Calling the spray foam companies (he needed up using 2 didn't foams, one for main floor , another type for second floor)
The house is still moving forward on the inside. I guess my question is , has anyone ever had this happen, and if so how did you remedy the problem and how did it all get handled with the spray foam installers company ( insurance or other means?)
And would it be possible if all the tin is NOT adhered to the foam, can I get it all peeled off and then the foam grinder down flush and re - tin it ? Or would that not work due to the tin not being adhered to the foam would condensation get in-between the foam and the new tin and just rust out?.
