This concerned a blocked walled detached house that was under construction. The cavity had been retrospectively insulated with foam. The mixing of the foam creates heat and it is also injected at high temperature. In this instance the temperature was too high and the heat from the foam caused all of the walls to expand resulting in vertical fractures at all of the corners both internally and externally. Method of repair was to insert stainless steel tiles in to a number of the horizontal mortar joints crossing the fractures and bond them in with an epoxy resin. The report prepared for the Court follows the photographs.
