This page is for homeowners who already have Owens Corning insulation products in their walls and need service, upgrade, or replacement. If your walls were insulated between 1985 and 2010 with Owens Corning Fiberglas or EcoTouch, or if you’re considering new Owens Corning Thermafiber or FOAMULAR rigid board for a West Hollywood retrofit, the specifics below apply directly to your situation.

How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Fiberglas batts compressed by decades of settling in West Hollywood’s stucco-over-lath walls. The R-13 or R-19 printed on the original Owens Corning batts assumes full loft, but gravity and vibration from Santa Monica Boulevard traffic compress fiberglass into the bottom third of the cavity. We remove the collapsed batt, air-seal the top plate and electrical penetrations, then dense-pack with new material that won’t settle the same way.
• EcoTouch Pink batts degraded by moisture intrusion from failed exterior stucco. Owens Corning’s EcoTouch line uses a plant-based binder that breaks down when repeatedly wetted. In West Hollywood’s Mediterranean climate, minor stucco cracks let winter rain in; by March the binder is powder and the pink fibers separate. We document the moisture source with infrared imaging, replace with moisture-resistant Thermafiber mineral wool or treat the wall with closed-cell spray foam if the cavity allows.
• FOAMULAR rigid board delamination at the foil facing in unconditioned wall assemblies. Owens Corning FOAMULAR 150 and 250 used as exterior continuous insulation can see the foil facing separate from the XPS core when subjected to West Hollywood’s temperature swings, 45°F winter nights to 95°F summer afternoons. The facing becomes a vapor trap once breached. We assess whether the board is salvageable or needs full replacement, and specify whether the new install needs a vented rainscreen given your wall assembly.
• Thermafiber RainBarrier HD compression in commercial-to-residential conversions. Owens Corning’s mineral wool board is common in West Hollywood’s older apartment buildings converted to condos. Installers sometimes compress it into cavities tighter than the 2.5 pcf density it’s rated for, killing its drainage plane function. We measure the actual cavity depth and specify the correct density, or switch to a lower-density RainBarrier product that fills without compression.
• Original 1970s-1980s Owens Corning loose-fill fiberglass slumped behind lath-and-plaster. Pre-1990 loose-fill in West Hollywood’s Spanish Revival and Mid-Century stock has no binding agent. It piles at the bottom of the wall, leaving the upper two-thirds effectively uninsulated. We extract through minimal interior access points, seal all top plates and wire holes with acoustic sealant, then dense-pack with new material to the correct density for the cavity depth.

Our Owens Corning Wall Insulation Process

1. 1
   Call and scheduling. A live person answers 24/7. We book a site visit, and under Haven Standard: Arrive on schedule, you get a named technician and a text when they are on the way.
2. 2
   Infrared and blower-door diagnostics. We pressurize your home to 50 pascals to locate infiltration paths through the walls, then use thermal imaging to spot missing or degraded insulation. You get the before number in writing.
3. 3
   Written price and scope. We specify Owens Corning, Johns Manville, Knauf, Rockwool, or another material based on your wall assembly and budget. No work starts without a flat price, written scope, and written warranty delivered.
4. 4
   Air sealing first. Seal the leaks first. Then insulate. The R-value on the bag assumes you did it in that order. We seal top plates, electrical boxes, plumbing penetrations, and any chase openings before insulation touches the cavity.
5. 5
   Installation and density verification. For dense-pack jobs, we verify fill density with wall-cavity pressure readings. For rigid board, we confirm continuous coverage with no thermal bridging at studs.
6. 6
   After-test, photo record, and documentation. Applicable jobs get a post-work blower-door test showing the actual air leakage reduction. Every job closes with a Documented Photo Record and your written warranty under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
