Common Signs Of Dry Rot
Dry rot, also known as wood rot, can seriously damage your home’s structure. It weakens wood and causes costly repairs.
You may notice discoloration on wood surfaces or smell a damp, musty odor. Additionally, floors that feel soft or “give” under pressure often signal hidden decay.
These warning signs mean dry rot fungus may already be spreading. Therefore, contacting a professional for inspection and repair protects your Portland home from further damage.
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
McMinnville Dry Rot Specialists
Dry rot, also known as wood rot, is the term used for wood that is in a state of deterioration and decay. Such wood has lost its natural coherence and strength, and tends to crack, crumble and fall apart. Dry rot is caused by a pernicious wood fungus that eats away at the wood that is moist or wet – thus it often thrives in the wet and rainy McMinnville climate. Once the dry rot fungus has invaded healthy wood it tends to eat away mercilessly, spreading throughout whatever wood it can find and wreaking havoc in the process.
Dry rot extraction is crucial to restoring the wood surfaces and structures of your McMinnville home back to safe, healthy, and beautiful wood. Like tooth decay, all of the wood-rot fungi must be eradicated from the wood in order for the dry rot to be eliminated from your McMinnville home. Attempting to remove dry rot without sufficient training is probably not the best idea as it will likely reoccur unless treated professionally.
