Frequently Asked Questions

Dry Rot Questions Answered

How do I recognise dry rot?
Look for timber that has become dry and brittle with deep cracks across the grain, a flat rust-coloured fruiting body like a pancake, fine grey strands spreading over masonry, and a strong mushroom smell. If you spot any of these, get it inspected quickly.
What is the difference between dry rot and wet rot?
Wet rot needs consistently soaked timber and stays local to the wet area. Dry rot is far more serious because it can spread through masonry and plaster in search of new timber, well away from the original source of moisture.
How quickly does dry rot spread?
In the right conditions the fungus can grow through a property surprisingly fast, travelling behind plaster and through wall voids. That is why early treatment costs so much less than dealing with an established outbreak.
Is dry rot dangerous to my home?
Yes. Dry rot digests the parts of the wood that give it strength, so joists, lintels and floorboards can eventually fail. Left alone it is one of the most destructive problems a property can have.
Can I treat dry rot myself?
Surface sprays from a DIY store will not reach fungus growing inside walls and timber, and mistaking wet rot for dry rot leads to the wrong treatment entirely. Professional identification and treatment is the only reliable fix for a genuine dry rot outbreak.
How do you treat dry rot?
We trace the full extent of the outbreak, remove timber that is beyond saving, treat the remaining wood and surrounding masonry with specialist fungicides, and deal with the moisture source that let the fungus grow in the first place.
Why did my property get dry rot?
Dry rot needs damp timber, usually from a leaking roof, failed gutters, plumbing leaks, or damp walls in poorly ventilated spaces like subfloors. Fixing that moisture source is a core part of our treatment.
Does insurance cover dry rot treatment?
Most buildings insurance policies treat rot as a maintenance issue rather than an insured event, but policies vary. We provide written reports you can pass to your insurer if you need to make a claim.
How long does dry rot treatment last?
Once the outbreak is removed and the moisture source fixed, treated areas should stay clear permanently. Our specialist treatments carry 10 year guarantees (terms and conditions apply).
How can I prevent dry rot coming back?
Keep the property watertight and ventilated. Clear your gutters, fix leaks promptly, keep air bricks unblocked and watch for condensation in unheated spaces. We give every customer straightforward prevention advice after treatment.
