How Johns Manville Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• JM Spider Custom Insulation settling in 2×4 walls. Spider’s fiberglass strands are engineered to cling without binder, but in Schertz’s freeze-thaw cycles, the product can settle 15 to 20 percent in walls with even moderate air movement, leaving a cold band at the top plate. We remove the settled material through drill-and-fill access holes, seal the top plate and electrical penetrations with acoustic sealant, then reinstall with proper density to prevent recurrence.
• JM Climate Pro loose-fill slumping in balloon-framed walls. Climate Pro blown-in fiberglass relies on friction fit, and in the tall wall cavities common in 1970s Schertz split-levels, gravity wins over time. We find the slumped sections with thermal imaging, extract the compacted fill, and switch to a higher-density injection foam or re-blow with side-stapled netting to maintain full-cavity contact.
• JM Formaldehyde-free batts creating gaps at stud bays. The batts are intentionally cut 1/2 inch undersized for handling safety, which in Texas humidity can expand the gap as framing swells and shrinks. We don’t just stuff more in; we remove the compromised batts, air-seal the perimeter with canned foam, then install a friction-fit batt sized to the actual measured bay width.
• JM Polyiso rigid board tape failure at exterior wall sheathing. The foil facing tape degrades faster in Schertz’s UV-exposed south and west walls, creating a convection loop behind the board. We strip the failed tape, verify the board’s R-value hasn’t degraded from moisture intrusion, and re-tape with foil-faced acrylic adhesive rated for 180°F surface temps, or replace with fresh Polyiso if delamination has started.
• JM Sound & Fire Block batts compressed by retrofitted wiring. Electricians in Schertz’s renovation-heavy market often compress these batts to 50 percent thickness to pull Romex, destroying both the STC rating and the fire-blocking function. We pull the compressed sections, document the fire-blocking requirement on our scope sheet, reinstall to full loft, and seal wire penetrations with intumescent caulk so the assembly meets code again.

Our Johns Manville Wall Insulation Process

1. 1
   Blower-door test and thermal scan. We pressurize the house to measure total envelope leakage, then run a FLIR camera to map where Johns Manville product is performing and where it’s bypassed by air movement.
2. 2
   Written scope and price. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, you get a flat price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone starts. No exceptions.
3. 3
   Air sealing first. We seal top plates, electrical penetrations, and plumbing chases with acoustic sealant and canned foam. Seal the leaks first. Then insulate. The attic doesn’t care how thick the insulation is if the air is still moving through it.
4. 4
   Product-specific installation. For Spider, we verify proper blowing machine pressure; for Climate Pro, we check cavity depth and install netting; for batts, we measure each bay. OEM Johns Manville spec or quality aftermarket equivalent, your choice, with the trade-offs explained.
5. 5
   Post-install verification. We run a second blower-door test, photograph depth sticks in representative cavities, and deliver your Documented Photo Record with before-and-after CFM50 readings.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise activation. Your written warranty goes into effect the moment we leave. If it’s not done right, we make it right.

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

We’ve been working the Schertz corridor for several years now, including jobs in the Sedona subdivision off FM 1518 where summer attic temps regularly push past 140°F before a single batt goes in. Wes Okafor built this crew on sequencing the work correctly: blower-door test first, air-sealing second, insulation third. Every completed job comes with a printed thermal-imaging summary and a post-install depth-stick photo log. We also service Reflectix and other major brands, so if your Johns Manville product has been discontinued or isn’t the right fit for your retrofit, we can source the alternative without a proprietary lock-in. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7.
