So how do you guys who have foam sprayed between stud bays in walls handle ever having to go back in and repair/add any electrical/plumbing after the walls are sprayed?
That's always driven me nuts thinking what an absolute pain in the,*** it would be to have to come back in and work on anything after the fact.
Your not supposed to bundle wires together without derating them because of heat issues,but a guy can bury a wire in 3 1/2" of spray foam and it's not a problem?
And what about people getting sick from the dead air in these super tight houses,but they keep wanting to make them tighter.
Fortunately you do see spray foamed walls around this area much.

The foam cuts very easily with a broad, flat knife and can be patched with canned foam. Going back isn't a problem.

Easier than bats, in my opinion, since the bats typically get hung up on wires and pipes in the cavity and then have to be overcompressed by the wallboard, or channels have to be cut in the bats.

Plus, the foam doesn't make your skin itch.

I heard the same thing, then I heard it wasn't. Of course I heard Firebirds were better than Camaros and Fords better than Chevy.

I was given the option of closed cell and it was a bit more expensive, however the open cell has much more sound deadening capabilities. I know its damn quiet in there. State hwy not too far away from building.
