Demilec insulation removal in Fort Worth typically runs $1,800 to $4,200 depending on square footage, access, and how the foam was installed. We’re an independent Demilec service provider, not a factory-authorized shop, which means we diagnose honestly and only remove what actually needs removing. Most Demilec removals in Fort Worth take one to three days, and we put that timeline in writing before any work starts.

This page is for homeowners in Fort Worth who have Demilec spray foam in their attic or walls and suspect it’s failing, off-gassing, or was never mixed correctly during installation. If that sounds like your situation, call (817) 730-5474 for a straight answer and a free assessment. Chase Whitaker and our crew have pulled enough bad Demilec out of Fort Worth attics to know what we’re looking at before the first cut.

How Demilec Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• Demilec Heatlok HFO off-ratio issues. When Heatlok HFO’s A and B sides aren’t mixed at the right temperature or ratio, the foam never fully cures. It stays soft, tacky, or crumbly, and it off-gasses amines that can linger for years. We see this most often in Fort Worth homes where the installer sprayed in cold weather and the chemical reaction stalled. The fix is full removal to the substrate and a re-spray with a properly mixed product, done by us or another qualified contractor.
• Demilec Sealection 500 open-cell shrinkage. Sealection 500 is open-cell foam, and open-cell foam breathes. In Fort Worth’s summer humidity, that breathing can mean moisture absorption. Over time, saturated open-cell foam loses its structure, settles, and pulls away from roof decking. We’ve removed Sealection that had shrunk a full inch off the rafters, creating thermal bypasses that made the attic feel like a sauna. Removal means scraping, bagging, and checking the decking for water damage before anything goes back in.
• Demilec Polaris closed-cell adhesion failure. Polaris is a closed-cell product that should stick to OSB, plywood, and even concrete. But surface dust, moisture, or improper prep causes it to de-bond. The foam looks fine from a ladder, but push on it and it separates in sheets. That’s a hidden failure mode you won’t find on Demilec’s website. We run an adhesion test with a knife and a flashlight before recommending removal, because sometimes it’s localized and can be cut out rather than fully stripped.
• Yellowing, brittle Demilec foam from UV exposure. Any spray foam left exposed to sunlight degrades, and Demilec products are no exception. If a Fort Worth installer sprayed an open attic and never covered the foam with an ignition barrier, that foam is now yellowed, brittle, and releasing dust. Brittle foam breaks down into particulates that get into ductwork. Removal here is straightforward but dusty, and we use HEPA-filtered vacuums to keep the rest of your house clean.
• Demilec applied over existing fiberglass. We see this in older Fort Worth ranch homes where someone got sold a foam retrofit that was sprayed directly over old, compressed fiberglass batts. The foam never bonds, the fiberglass keeps settling, and you’re left with a ragged, layered mess that does neither material’s job. Removal means taking both layers out, right down to the drywall, and starting fresh. Chase won’t re-spray until he’s certain the deck is dry and sound.

Our Demilec Insulation Removal Process

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. You call (817) 730-5474. A live human picks up, day or night. We ask about the foam, the attic, and the symptoms. You get a ballpark range on that call.
2. 2
   On-site diagnostic. We come out, get into the attic, and run the adhesion test. We check moisture levels in the foam and the decking. We measure the depth and square footage. Then we give you a written price before anything starts, no door-step surprises.
3. 3
   Containment. We seal off the attic access, run HEPA air scrubbers, and lay floor protection. Demilec removal makes dust. We keep it out of your living space.
4. 4
   Removal. We cut, scrape, bag, and remove the failed Demilec foam down to the substrate. We haul the bags out and dispose of them properly. Nothing sits in your yard for a week.
5. 5
   Substrate inspection and remediation. We check for water damage, rot, and residual adhesive. If the decking needs repair, we tell you and price it separately. We don’t bury problems under new insulation.
6. 6
   Photo proof and your guarantee in writing. You get before-and-after photos of the full job, a digital invoice you can pay from a link, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we make it right. If a repair fails, your second visit is free.

What Demilec Insulation Removal Costs in Fort Worth

Fort Worth Demilec removal pricing breaks down by foam type and how much of it we’re pulling out:

• Open-cell (HeatLok HFO / Sealection) attic removal: $2,200 to $4,200 for a typical 1,200 to 2,000 square-foot attic, including disposal.
• Closed-cell (Polaris) partial removal: $1,800 to $3,000 when we can cut out de-bonded sections rather than strip the entire attic.
• Wall cavity Demilec removal: $3,500 to $7,000 depending on cavity access; this is more involved and usually runs two to three days.
• Removal plus re-insulation: Add $1,400 to $2,800 depending on what product you choose from our material lineup. We carry eight leading brands: Owens Corning, Johns Manville, Knauf, Rockwool, CertainTeed, Icynene, Demilec, and GreenFiber. We also work around Reflectix radiant barriers.

What moves the price: square footage, foam type, how badly the foam is bonded, attic height and access, and whether the decking needs repair. Estimates are free. Call (817) 730-5474 for an exact number.
