Hello to all, and thanks to aerofoam and detroitsprayfoam, the guys I have already spoken with about getting into the business. I would like to get some more feedback about the injection business. What are the major pitfalls I should look for? What is the outlook for the business long term and how have some of you been doing since the economic downturn. I am in a rural area but I am within 50 miles of a city of about 300,000. Any advice or suggestions. I would like to hear from any of you who are thinking of getting out of the business and why you are thinking that?

Dennis Davidson Posted: Jun 08, 2009 08:55 AM	Mold? Has anyone else heard of this? I get a lot of leads for cavity fill injection foam. I have a small local contractor that I pass all these lead on to. If there is a mold issue I don't want my name associated with it. I also don't want to loose this contractor either, he's been sending me leads for spray foam.

I like the idea of the injection spray foam. I just hate the idea of tearing off someones siding and drilling holes in their wall and then putting it back just the way it was.
