How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Owens Corning PINK Fiberglas blown-in (ProCat, AttiCat systems) settles below labeled R-value in Long Beach’s marine climate. The salt-laden air and seasonal humidity swings in neighborhoods near Belmont Shore and Alamitos Beach accelerate compression in attics with inadequate ventilation. We remove the settled material, seal top plates and can-light penetrations first, then reinstall to true depth with a depth-stripe verification photo.
• Owens Corning EcoTouch batts degrade when installed over unsealed attic floors in pre-1980s Long Beach housing stock. The kraft facing traps moisture against drywall in bungalows near Bixby Knolls where original soffit ventilation was never upgraded. We remove the contaminated batts, map thermal bypasses with a blower-door test, then replace with new material only after ACH50 targets are met.
• Owens Corning Thermafiber SAFB (Sound Attenuation Fire Battles) in shared-wall applications slumps when wet. We see this in duplexes and fourplexes near downtown Long Beach where roof leaks went unaddressed. Removal requires HEPA containment; replacement demands verifying the wall cavity is dry and sealed before any new fire-rated batt goes in.
• Owens Corning FOAMULAR rigid board in crawl spaces loses adhesion at the perimeter rim joist. The EPS boards separate from framing in the clay-heavy soils of Long Beach’s eastside, where seasonal moisture wicks through foundation walls. We remove the failed boards, treat for mold if present, and re-secure with proper mechanical fastening and sealant compatible with the replacement envelope strategy.
• Owens Corning AttiCat loose-fill installed by previous owners without air sealing creates a filtration layer. Fiberglass becomes a gray mat where conditioned air escapes through ceiling penetrations, especially in homes near the 405 corridor with recessed can lights. We vacuum out the stained material, seal every penetration with fire-rated foam or gasketed covers, then reinstall clean insulation with a verified post-work blower-door reading.

Our Owens Corning Insulation Removal & Replacement Process

1. 1
   Measure first, then insulate - otherwise you’re just trapping the problem. Wes Okafor or a crew lead arrives with a thermal camera and moisture meter, records existing R-values and depths at five attic locations, and runs a blower-door test if air sealing is in scope. You get a one-page report with these numbers before any quote.
2. 2
   Written price with scope. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, we deliver a flat price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone schedules. No work starts without it.
3. 3
   Containment and removal. We establish negative air pressure with HEPA filtration for contaminated jobs, bag Owens Corning fiberglass or mineral wool per local disposal requirements, and photo-document the empty cavity condition.
4. 4
   Air sealing before replacement. Top plates, wire and pipe penetrations, can lights, and chimney chases are sealed with appropriate materials. We do not blow new insulation over an unsealed attic floor - ever.
5. 5
   Replacement with verified depth. New Owens Corning, Johns Manville, Knauf, or other specified material is installed to labeled depth with stripe verification. Post-work blower-door numbers are recorded on applicable jobs and delivered with your Documented Photo Record.
6. 6
   Cleanup and closeout. The crew vacuums the work path, re-installs attic decking if removed, and delivers your written warranty, photo record, and blower-door results before leaving. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies from this date.
