Wood rot is prevalent in damp areas that don’t dry out and can cause problems to your home’s structure, windows, exterior, and much more. Our service professionals can repair the following types of rot.
Structural Wood Rot
Rooms with plumbed water fixtures like kitchens, laundry rooms, bathrooms, and basements are at risk of developing structural rot. That’s because leaks around water supply lines and drain pipes can keep those areas wet and provide the perfect setting for fungus to grow.
For example, basements are prone to high humidity and moisture because the concrete walls are surrounded by wet soil. This can cause water vapor to develop on the surface of the walls and wooden ceiling beams. Once it starts growing, rot can spread rapidly and cause major harm to the foundation of your home.
If this condition is not treated, your structure could fail.
Window Wood Rot
Nowadays, most windows are sturdy enough to prevent leaks. But it takes just a small gap that’s not properly sealed for rain to seep through and dampen the wood in the wall below the window.
Since the wood is not exposed to any air or sunlight, it will stay wet and provide the perfect condition for window wood rot to grow. Keep in mind that older wooden windows are at a greater risk for rot than newer ones. That’s because the water tends to sit on the window sill and seep through the cracks in the paint.
