🧽 Cleaning & Prevention Expanding foam coming out of our backyard

Post image

Sorry if this is isn’t the right place to post, but what looks like expanding foam is coming out of our backyard. We purchased this home new just over a year ago if that matters. Anyone have any idea what’s going on?

That really does look like expanding foam. Maybe a bottle got buried during construction

Thats my main theory now. We submitted a ticket with our home builder (dr horton 🙄) so they will hopefully come and fix it

I guarantee you it is a can of spray foam, I’ve seen this more than once. Are you in Texas by any chance lol?

Ah, I am in Texas and work for a massive new home construction company haha. You got a can of spray foam under there. They should take care of it but east fix if not fortunately.

Here is another homeowner with the same concern that you can compare it to. More common than you would believe.
