What is Wood Rot?

If you are living in a relatively old house, then wood rot is probably something that you’ll need to deal with at some point. In fact, you may have it now without you directly noticing.

As elegant and reliable as wood is as a building material, it has a major weakness: it rots and decays. Wood decay fungi come in different types but regardless of what they are, they all like to eat through and destroy wood building parts.

The main culprit to blame for wood rot is moisture, which may be caused by faulty plumbing, too much greenery, roof leaks, and inadequate ventilation, among others. When left untreated and fed with the right conditions, wood rot can spread and eventually weaken your home or building’s structure and foundations. A property with significant rot will also lose its beauty and overall value.
