Spray foam insulation — open or closed cell — requires substrate preparation and coverage documentation for permit compliance, energy rebates, and manufacturer warranty. Here's what to photograph.

Before application: Substrate condition, any moisture issues, existing insulation removed, and utility rough-in visible.

After application: Full coverage of each cavity or surface being sprayed, depth markings or reference for R-value, and any thermal boundary details.

Product documentation: Manufacturer, product number, and coverage data from the container labels.
