Wet rot can affect properties of all ages, and without appropriate treatment, damaged timber can gradually lose its strength and structural integrity.
Whether you have noticed decaying skirting boards, damaged window frames, soft floorboards or deterioration around a roof structure, identifying the cause early can help prevent more extensive repairs. Cheshire Damp can help assess suspected wet rot and recommend suitable treatment options for your property.
Wet rot is a form of timber decay caused by fungi that thrive when wood remains excessively damp. Unlike dry rot, wet rot generally requires a continuing source of moisture to develop and spread. Common causes include leaking pipes, defective gutters, damaged roofing, water penetration around windows and poor ventilation.
When timber remains wet for prolonged periods, fungal activity can break down the wood fibres. Affected timber may become soft, darkened, cracked or weakened, depending on the species of wood and the extent of the damage.
Wet rot can affect a range of wooden components, including floor joists, roof timbers, door frames, window frames, skirting boards and structural supports. The visible damage may only indicate part of the problem, making a thorough inspection important.
