Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) installed by Dura-Foam is closed cell polyurethane and will not soak up water. The coating layers over the foam are depended on only for UV protection. Also, surface damage to the coating layer will not cause leakage, nor will surface damage cause the foam to soak up water. For a leak to occur, the thick SPF layer must be totally penetrated.
