Wood Rot Repair and Inspection Service
Wood Rot, a prevalent issue for homeowners in the northeast.
Wood rot, a common problem in the northeastern US, occurs when fungi decompose damp wood, weakening its structure. Moisture, poor ventilation, and specific fungi contribute to this issue. Signs of wood rot include discoloration, softening, and fungal growth. Prevention involves minimizing moisture exposure, improving ventilation, and applying wood preservatives. Regular inspections can help identify and treat wood rot early, preventing further damage.
