How Johns Manville Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

We see the same Johns Manville failure patterns repeat across Los Angeles attics, and most of them trace back to one thing: the original install, not the foam itself. Here’s what we regularly find when we open up a JM spray foam job.

• JM Corbond III closed-cell pulling away from the roof deck. Corbond III is a solid closed-cell product, but when it’s sprayed on a damp surface – common in Los Angeles winter mornings when roof decks sweat – the foam loses adhesion. It looks fine for six months, then starts separating in sheets. We cut out the failed sections, dry the deck properly, and re-spray. The fix is straightforward; finding it before the gap becomes a moisture trap is the real work.
• Open-cell JM Spider (actually a JM-adjacent product) sagging in cathedral ceilings. Homeowners with vaulted ceilings in places like Silver Lake or Los Feliz call us about foam that looks like it’s melting. It’s not melting – open-cell foam installed too thick in a single pass can sag under its own weight before it cures. We remove the sag, re-spray in two lifts, and the ceiling holds its shape.
• JM closed-cell shrinkage around rim joists. Closed-cell foam shrinks slightly as it cures. When a crew sprays a rim joist and doesn’t come back for a second pass, that shrinkage leaves a hairline gap at the edges – enough for Los Angeles crawl space air to sneak in. We find it with a thermal camera, then fill and seal the gap with a compatible foam bead.
• Improper mix on a two-component JM system. Johns Manville foams are two-part systems – an A-side and a B-side – and if the ratio is off by even a few degrees in temperature or pressure, the foam never reaches full R-value. It cures but stays brittle, almost like a dry sponge. That’s a full removal and re-spray job, because you can’t fix a bad chemical reaction with a patch.
• Garage ceiling foam that was never re-coated. JM open-cell foam in a garage ceiling acts as a giant sponge for car exhaust and moisture if it’s not protected with an ignition barrier or intumescent coating. Los Angeles code requires it, some installers skip it, and the foam turns brown and chalky within a few years. We remove the compromised layer, re-spray, and this time we coat it.
