Spray polyurethane foam insulationSpray polyurethane foam insulation punch checklist
Spray polyurethane foam insulation punch is where small misses become callbacks after the crew has demobilized. This checklist walks the finished work the way the owner and the next trade will see it, with the photo that closes each item instead of a note that reopens it. Work is commonly verified against the applicable building code, manufacturer's published instructions. Confirm the edition your authority having jurisdiction has adopted.

Who runs it
The applicator on a callback, or the GC's superintendent clearing insulation punch before the cavity closes.
When in the schedule
During closeout, after the final walk flagged thin bays or overspray and before board or cladding covers the foam for good.
The checklist
Every item, and the photo that proves it
The photo count on each row is what RTI would require before the item can be submitted. Copy the list as is, or load it into RTI and let the gate enforce it.
Repair
- 2 photos
Thin or missed areas re-sprayed and re-probed
Marked bays given a second lift and the depth re-probed to confirm it now meets the specified thickness.
- 1 photo
Pull-away gaps filled
Shrinkage gaps at framing filled and re-checked for adhesion, no gap left at the stud or plate.
Cleanup
- 1 photo
Overspray removed without damaging finishes
Overspray cleaned off windows, panels and finished surfaces, the surface underneath undamaged, masking removed.
What usually sends this back
The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work
- A thin bay topped with a second lift that isn't re-probed, so it's still short of the rated depth.
- Overspray scraped off a window or panel and the smear left behind, or the cleanup damaging the finish underneath.
Run it with the Photo Gate
A checklist nobody can submit half-finished
Load this list into RTI, stick a QR tag on the area it covers, and the submit button stays locked until every mandatory item is answered and the 4 required photos exist. Approved walks roll into a branded turnover package with a tamper-evident record behind every line.
Submission state
The gate is enforced on the server, so it holds even if the phone is offline when the walk happens.

- When in the schedule should this walk happen?
- During closeout, after the final walk flagged thin bays or overspray and before board or cladding covers the foam for good.
- Why does every item ask for a photo?
