Common Signs Of Dry Rot
Dry rot, also known as wood rot, is a serious problem that can threaten the structural integrity of your home by eating away and deteriorating the wood. While discovering dry rot you may also notice the discoloration of wood surfaces, a dank mildew smell, or areas in your floor that “give” when you walk upon it are all common indications of dry rot in your home.
Dry rot occurs in areas that are subject to excessive moisture including, but not limited to:
- Areas of your kitchen and bathroom
- Deck floorboards, ledger, and posts
- Floor covering, subfloor, and joists
- Framing around windows and doors
- Inside posts, beams, joists, and sills
- Roof shingles, gutters, soffit, and fascia
- Walls, baseboards, stiles, and rails
How Dry Rot Invades & Corrodes Your Home
Dry rot is a condition of decay that advances through various sequential stages. It begins as a mass of reddish spores that spreads across healthy wood but soon begins to devour the wood, sometimes resulting in strange-looking growths such as cotton, cobwebs, or mushrooms. If left untreated, the wood fungus that causes dry rot completely invades the wood and devours the properties that make it firm and strong. Ultimately, wood rot represents a state of total dilapidation in which the previously healthy wood in your Lake Stevens home crumbles and falls apart easily under pressure.
Critical Nature Of Addressing Dry Rot
If you think you may have dry rot, it is important to have a professional Lake Stevens dry rot repair specialist examine your home.

Addressing dry rot is critical because the longer you wait, the more damage dry rot inflicts upon your home and the greater the expense of dry rot removal and structural repairs. Also, dry rot in advanced stages can weaken the wood structures and surfaces of your home, making it increasingly unhealthy and unsafe to live in. If your home has any of the above dry rot symptoms, or if you simply want to consult with a professional dry rot repair service, call SFW Construction today for a free consultation.
