What Causes Wood Rot?

It results from the decomposition of wood due to fungal growth. The fungi feed on the cellulose in the wood, causing it to weaken and decay. Wood rot can be caused by various sources of moisture, including:

• Leaking pipes
• Damp basement
• Leaky roof
• Poor drainage around the foundation
• Excess humidity

How We Work

Step 1: Inspection

We will look for any signs of wood rot, such as:

• Discoloration
• Soft or spongy wood
• Mold or mildew
• Cracks or holes in the wood

Step 2: Removal of Damaged Wood

Upon identification of the affected area, we will remove the damaged wood. We will also remove any insulation or other materials that have been affected by the wood rot.

Step 3: Cleaning and Disinfecting

After the removed wood and insulation have been disposed of, we will clean and disinfect the area. This will help to prevent the spread of any mold or mildew.

Step 4: Replacement of Damaged Wood

We will use new lumber that is treatment resistant to ensure that the problem does not reoccur. You can also choose to have us stain or paint the new wood to match the existing trim.

Step 5: Final Inspection

We will conduct a final inspection to ensure a quality job. We will also provide you with a guarantee of the work that we have done.
