How Johns Manville Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• JM Corbond III open-cell shrinkage in Tustin’s dry summers. Corbond III can pull away from framing members when seasonal humidity drops below 30 percent, which happens regularly in Tustin from August through October. We find gaps at stud bays and top plates that weren’t visible at installation. Our fix: remove the failed sections, recondition the substrate with a light mist coat, and respray to full thickness with documented depth checks every 16 inches.
• JM Corbond II closed-cell delamination from OSB roof decks. In Tustin’s inland heat, roof deck temperatures can exceed 140 degrees. When the original installer skipped the primer coat or sprayed over dusty sheathing, Corbond II separates in sheets. We scrape to substrate, apply JM-compatible primer per the current data sheet, and respray at 2 inches minimum for the R-13 thermal barrier the 2022 California Energy Code requires in Climate Zone 8.
• JM Spider custom-engineered system settling in wall cavities. Spider is a hybrid system, not true spray foam, and we’ve found it compacts to 60-70 percent of labeled thickness in walls where the netting was stapled too loose. We remove the netting and settled fill, dense-pack the cavity with alternative material if the homeowner prefers, or convert to open-cell spray foam with proper vent baffles where roof assemblies are involved.
• JM Formaldehyde-free fiberglass batt interface failures at spray foam transitions. Where previous contractors butted Johns Manville batts against spray foam without an air barrier, thermal bridging and condensation occur. We cut back the interface, install closed-cell spray foam as a thermal and air barrier at the transition, and document the assembly with pre- and post-installation thermal images.
• JM spray foam over unsealed can lights and top plates. This isn’t a product failure, it’s an installation failure we see constantly: foam sprayed over a leaky envelope. The R-value on the bag means nothing if conditioned air is moving through the gap around that recessed can. We always seal first - top plates, electrical penetrations, can light enclosures - then insulate, with blower-door numbers to prove the difference.

Our Johns Manville Spray Foam Insulation Process

1. 1
   Call and scope. A live person answers 24/7. We schedule a site visit, and Wes Okafor or a senior tech arrives with a written price sheet, not a blank pad.
2. 2
   Blower-door test and thermal scan. We pressurize the house to 50 pascals, record the CFM50 reading, and run a FLIR camera to find air leakage paths. In Tustin Legacy, we typically see pre-sealing numbers between 3,500 and 5,500 CFM50 on post-redevelopment homes built 2005-2015.
3. 3
   Air sealing first. Top plates, can lights, plumbing and electrical penetrations, duct boots - sealed with appropriate materials before foam touches anything.
4. 4
   Substrate prep and product selection. We verify whether we’re matching existing Johns Manville foam or converting from another brand. OEM Johns Manville foam is available through regional distributors; we also stock compatible aftermarket closed-cell products when the job specification allows and the homeowner approves in writing.
5. 5
   Spray application with depth verification. We mark stud bays with depth indicators every 16 inches and photograph the installed thickness before trim. Open-cell gets 5.5 inches for R-38 in attics; closed-cell gets 2-3 inches for R-13 to R-19 in walls and rim joists per code.
6. 6
   Post-test, documentation, and cleanup. Second blower-door test to quantify improvement. You receive the written scope, before-and-after blower-door numbers, thermal images, depth photos, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Haven Standard: Have it in writing.

Why Tustin Homeowners Call Topside Attic Insulation Tustin for Johns Manville Work

We’ve sealed and insulated over 9,000 homes since 2016, and a significant share of those have been in Orange County’s tighter building stock where spray foam was specified from the start. Wes Okafor and our crew know the difference between Corbond II and Corbond III, between a roof deck that needs primer and one that doesn’t, and between a job that warrants OEM Johns Manville foam and one where a compatible alternative meets the spec at lower cost. We’re not locked to any single brand - we also work with Reflectix and other manufacturers - so our recommendation follows the building science, not a distribution contract. Every job gets the 365-Day Done Right Promise, a named technician, a text when we’re en route, and a Documented Photo Record you keep. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7.
