Hillsboro Dry Rot Repair

Because the fungus that causes dry rot eats away at the structural integrity of the wood in your Hillsboro home, you can typically tell if you have dry rot based on signs that indicate weakened or deteriorating wood. For instance, floors that have spots that ‘give’ or squeak when you walk on them may indicate that the wood beneath your floor is compromised. Any wood that appears darker than usual, discolored, seems to be softer or looser than normal or looks as if it is shrinking or cracking may be affected by dry rot. Musty mildew smell is another good sign, and if any wood surface in your home has a growth on it that looks like mushrooms, cobwebs, or cotton, you are likely dealing with an advanced stage of dry rot.

Although it’s called ‘dry rot,’ the dry rot fungus thrives on moisture in the wood. Living in the northwest, where being wet is a general rule of thumb, the fungus that causes dry rot has a virtual buffet of fine dining options throughout your beautiful home!
