How to Take Care of Wood Rot and Dry Rot in Woodstock, GA and the Surrounding Area

wood rot

Your home needs to be checked once a year for problems such as wood rot or dry rot. These issues can cause costly damages if left unchecked. Learn how to identify and treat each one to benefit your home’s upkeep and overall condition. Here are some of our professionals’ favorite tips on the topic.

Dry Rot

This is a fungal infection that can occur in your home, damaging large amounts of wood as it spreads. This can be identified by the following details:

  • An Odor
  • Orange Spores and Dust
  • Gray Lines in Timber
  • Timber is Brittle
  • Decaying Timbers

The affected sections must be removed and replaced to stop the spread of dry rot. Treated timber with fungicide can prevent this and will be used to treat the new timber as well.

Wood Rot

Wood rot can be found in a number of places around the home. These areas are susceptible to the appearance and build up of moisture. Using a long-handled screwdriver and a flashlight, check these spots of your home: windows, exterior doors, roof, attic, crawl spaces, wet rooms, bathroom, basement, siding, and more. You can identify wood rot with the following traits:

  • Odor
  • Swelling
  • Discolored Wood
  • Soft Wood

Wood rot can be treated by drying out the affected areas and applying a copper wood preservative or borate seal. Check back to make sure the seal holds, and no more moisture appears. Prevent wood rot by putting a dehumidifier in the basement, installing an exhaust fan in the bathroom, and be sure to remove any standing water on your deck after it rains.

Follow these tips and guidelines to maintain your home and to keep an eye out for wood rot and dry rot. Once identified, be sure to fix the area as soon as possible to avoid even more issues. If you need assistance with any of these tasks, be sure to contact your local craftspeople.
