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

Dry Rot Explained

Dry rot is a deterioration of healthy wood caused by an aggressive wood fungus that thrives in moisture. The term ‘dry rot,’ also known as ‘wood rot,’ refers to the decayed remains of previously healthy wood after the wood fungus has invaded it and eaten away all its strength and vigor. Having dry rot in the structure of your home is like having decay in your tooth – in order to restore your home to a healthy state all the dry rot must be removed along with the wood fungus that results in this condition. To do this effectively requires hiring a professional.

Dry Rot Removal And Home Restoration

SFW Construction has provided the premiere dry rot removal service in Newberg, Oregon since 2005. Our crew of trained professionals is extensively experienced in addressing dry rot problems and removing all of the fungi that cause wood rot from the structure of your Newberg home. Removing the dry rot from your Newberg home is critical because the wood fungus that causes it will spread throughout the wood structure until it is eradicated. If you know or suspect you have dry rot it’s a great idea to consult a professional and take care of the problem before it gets worse and more expensive to address.

Here are a few common indications of dry rot:

  • Floor “gives” or squeaks when walked upon.
  • Wood surfaces are discolored or look like cobwebs, cotton, or mushrooms.
  • Wood surfaces are shrinking and cracked or soft and loose.
  • A damp and musty odor.

Wood decay can be a big problem for both new and experienced homeowners but particularly plagues those of us who live in the often damp Pacific Northwest. Despite its colloquial name, dry rot is most often caused by communities of fungi growing in wood with high moisture saturation.
