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
The Problem Of Dry Rot
Dry rot is caused by a wood fungus that invades and decays moist or damp wood in your home. It can pervade your home’s structure, places such as the inner walls, posts, beams, and joints, or flooring. Because it thrives in damp environments, it tends to proliferate in the bathroom and kitchen or other moist areas throughout your home. Beginning as tiny reddish spores, the fungus spreads throughout healthy wood and must be removed entirely to eradicate the problem.
The main complication with dry rot is that it compromises the structural integrity of the wood in your Mountlake Terrace home. In advanced stages, dry rot results in the dilapidation of wood structures and surfaces that necessitates repair. It causes wood to crack and crumble and fall apart easily with any kind of pressure. This, of course, makes your home unsafe. Wood that has been decayed by dry rot is simply in no shape to provide the function it was intended to provide.
Dry Rot Repair And Home Restoration
If your home is invaded by wood rot, the best course of action is to have a professional Mountlake Terrace dry rot repair service remove it and repair your home. SFW Construction is extensively skilled and experienced in dry rot removal and home repair work.
