Icynene Home Energy Audit Nationwide

Icynene Home Energy Audit in Boerne: What to Know First

We provide independent Icynene home energy audit in Boerne for homeowners who need their spray foam system evaluated, not replaced. Most audits are completed in 90 to 120 minutes, and you’ll receive a written scope with flat pricing before we schedule any follow-up work - that’s Haven Standard Clause 1, no exceptions. Call (830) 529-7780 to book; a live person answers, even at 10 p.m. on a Sunday.

This page is for you if your Icynene installation is five to fifteen years old, your energy bills have climbed without explanation, or another contractor suggested a full tear-out before running a single diagnostic test. We’re not Icynene authorized, and we don’t need to be - we test what you’ve got, document what we find, and fix only what actually needs fixing.

How Icynene Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Icynene Classic Max shrinkage at rim joists. The open-cell formulation in Classic Max can pull away from framing members in Boerne’s seasonal humidity swings, creating a 1/8-inch to 3/16-inch gap that reads as a thermal bypass on infrared. We don’t caulk over it - we cut back to sound foam, reapply a compatible open-cell patch, and verify the seal with a smoke pencil before the blower-door test.
• Icynene MD-C-200 overspray into soffit vents. The medium-density closed-cell product hardens like shellac, and when installers rushed the job in 2018-to-2020-era builds around Boerne’s Balcones Creek, they often blocked passive attic ventilation. We remove the obstruction mechanically, restore the vent path, and calculate net free area so the attic doesn’t cook the sheathing.
• Icynene LD-C-50 degradation from roof leaks. The low-density closed-cell line traps water against decking when a shingle fails; the foam doesn’t absorb it, but it hides it. We core-sample the affected area, check wood moisture content with a pin meter, and map the dry-out zone before deciding whether to spot-remove or let it breathe.
• Icynene H2Foam Lite inadequate lift thickness in cathedral ceilings. Installers sometimes stopped at 3 inches in tight rafter bays when the spec called for 5-plus inches for the stated R-value. We measure residual thickness with a depth gauge, calculate the effective R, and recommend either a flash-and-batt hybrid or a controlled reapplication - never guesswork.
• Icynene ProSeal Eco off-ratio curing from temperature drift. The water-blown closed-cell system is sensitive to substrate temperature below 60°F; in unconditioned Boerne garages and bonus rooms, we’ve seen crumbly, low-density cure that cracks under foot traffic. We remove the failed material to substrate, recondition the surface, and reapply only when the bay holds temperature for 24 hours.

Our Icynene Home Energy Audit Process

1. 1
   Call intake with a live person. We ask when the foam was installed, who did it if you know, and what symptom triggered the call - a spike in usage, a musty smell, or ice damming last February.
2. 2
   On-site blower-door test. We depressurize the house to 50 pascals and record CFM50 baseline - the number that tells us, in one figure, how much conditioned air is escaping the envelope. Wes Okafor keeps his blower door calibrated quarterly; the last certificate is in the truck if you want to see it.
3. 3
   Thermal imaging and core sampling. We scan every Icynene surface with a FLIR camera, then pull 2-inch cores from anomaly zones to check density, adhesion, and moisture content. The cores go in labeled bags; you keep the photos.
4. 4
   Written scope with flat price. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, you get a written price, a written scope, and a written warranty before anyone schedules return work. No verbal estimates, no “we’ll see when we open it up.”
5. 5
   Repair with documented photo record. The crew photographs every stage - the exposed defect, the remediation, the final finish. On applicable jobs, we run the blower door again and hand you the before-and-after printout in pascals.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise closeout. If the fix doesn’t hold, we make it right. The warranty language is in the packet you signed, not buried on a website.

What Icynene Home Energy Audit Costs in Boerne

Most Icynene home energy audits in Boerne run $285 to $495 for a single-family home under 3,500 square feet. The audit itself is diagnostic; if we find actionable defects, remediation pricing depends on what the foam tells us.

What moves the price: accessibility (steep-pitch cathedral ceilings cost more to sample), square footage, and whether we need to bring in containment for occupied-space work. We also service Reflectix radiant barrier systems if your Icynene install was part of a multi-product envelope package and the reflective layer needs evaluation.

Call (830) 529-7780 for an exact quote - estimates are free, and we don’t charge to read someone else’s report with you.

Why Boerne Homeowners Call Topside Attic Insulation Boerne for Icynene Work

We’ve been independently owned and operated under The Haven Standard since 2016. That means a written price before any work starts, a documented photo record when the crew leaves, and a live person on the phone at midnight if your AC quits and you suspect the foam envelope.

Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Icynene’s specific failure vocabulary - not generic “spray foam problems.” We publish before-and-after blower-door numbers on every applicable job because a homeowner in Fair Oaks Ranch or near the Cibolo Nature Center deserves to see the pressure differential on paper, not take our word for it. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to everything we touch. Seal the envelope first. Then fill it.
