Properties that exhibit high amounts of excess moisture are in danger of developing dry rot. Dry rot takes place when a wood’s fibers are slowly broken down by a fungus, causing the wood to look aged and brittle. Dry rot damage can’t be ignored because the affected wooden structure will lose its strength and stiffness if left untreated. In time, the wooden structure won’t be able to hold your property’s weight, causing it to collapse.
If you believe that your property is being infested with dry rot, contact Select Crawlspace Waterproofing immediately. We have the experience and the proper dry rot removal equipment to get rid of the decay, fast.
There are 2 types of dry rot: white rot and brown rot. White rot attacks hardwood and has a white or yellowish color with a spongy or stringy texture. On the other hand, brown rot targets softwood, giving it a dark brown color and a dry, powdery texture.
Because of its appearance, dry rot is often mistaken as a sign of termite or carpenter ant infestation. It’s inadvisable to use unprofessional methods to treat the fungal decay as the wrong treatment process can worsen the damage or destroy the wooden surface completely.
