Understanding Wet and Dry Rot
Wet and dry rot are forms of fungal decay that thrive in moist conditions, attacking and weakening timber in buildings.
Dry rot (Serpula lacrymans) is particularly destructive, capable of spreading through masonry to reach more timber, while wet rot is generally confined to the damp area.
Identifying the type of rot and the source of moisture is crucial for effective treatment and ensuring the long-term protection of your property.
Our Treatment Process
- Initial Assessment: Our specialists conduct a thorough inspection to identify the type and extent of rot, as well as the source of moisture that has allowed the fungus to flourish.
- Eradication and Repair: Treatment often involves removing the source of moisture, eradicating the fungal growth, and replacing affected timber. For dry rot, this may include sterilising surrounding masonry to prevent recurrence. Our treatments are designed to address the immediate issue and safeguard your property against future infestations.
- Preventative Measures: Following treatment, we advise on and implement preventative measures to maintain a dry environment, preventing the conditions that allow rot to develop. This includes improving ventilation, addressing any external water ingress issues, and using timber treatments that protect against fungal growth.
