What is Dry Rot/Wet Rot?
Damp timber that is combined with humidity is susceptible to dry rot. Dry rot can be caused by many factors but the most serious is fungal decay (Serpula Lacrymans). Expert diagnosis is vital as this fungus can destroy a property's structural strength. This fungus has the ability to grow through plaster, concrete and brickwork in the search for further wood.
Wet rot is caused by a number of fungal species. It is not as serious as dry rot but can still be a cause of structural problems.
How can Cedar Preservation help?
At Cedar Preservation Ltd, we will conduct a full survey to identify the source of dry rot or wet rot and treat it safely, quickly and efficiently removing the source of the dampness and all defective timbers to eliminate the rot.
Dry rot treatments include rectifying the damp ingress, removal of plasterwork/masonry, removal of decayed timbers and sterilisation of the infected areas.
Wet rot treatments include rectifying the source of dampness, replacement of degenerated timbers and irrigation with a fungicidal solution.
