Dry Rot Prevention Tips

Preventing dry rot is about limiting wood exposure to moisture. Follow these preventative measures to protect your home.

01

Landscaping

Ensure sprinklers don't spray onto exterior trim. Water plants at roots to avoid wetting wood directly.

02

Deck Care

Properly seal wood decks. Install new decks with a slight slope to help water drain off easily.

03

Plumbing

Check under cabinets and around toilets regularly. Repair any leak immediately to prevent rot.

04

Roofing

Inspect your roof annually. Install gutters to redirect rainwater away from foundation.

05

Ventilation

Ensure proper ventilation in kitchens, attics, and bathrooms to remove excess moisture.

06

Painting

When painting outdoor wood, prime all six sides before applying any coat of paint.

Common Questions

FAQ

What is dry rot and how does it affect my home?

Dry rot is a type of wood decay caused by fungi that breaks down the cellulose and lignin in wood, causing it to become weak, brittle, and crumbly. Despite its name, dry rot actually requires moisture to develop. It can spread through your home's structure, compromising the integrity of framing, decks, siding, and trim if left untreated.

How do I know if I have dry rot?

Common signs include wood that appears darker than surrounding areas, a musty smell, paint that's cracking or peeling, wood that feels soft or spongy when pressed, visible fungal growth, and wood that crumbles easily. You might also notice doors or windows that suddenly don't close properly due to warped framing.

Can dry rot spread to other areas of my home?

Yes, dry rot can spread rapidly through your home. The fungi produce spores that travel through the air and can establish new colonies wherever they find suitable conditions—typically wood with moisture content above 20%. This is why addressing dry rot quickly is essential to prevent extensive damage.

How much does dry rot repair typically cost?

Costs vary significantly based on the extent of damage and accessibility of affected areas. Minor repairs might cost a few hundred dollars, while extensive structural repairs can run several thousand. We provide free inspections and detailed estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

How long does dry rot repair take?

Most repairs are completed within 1-3 days, depending on the scope of work. Larger projects involving structural repairs or multiple areas may take a week or more. We'll provide a timeline during your consultation and keep you informed throughout the process.

Do you offer warranties on your repair work?

Yes, all our dry rot repairs come with a comprehensive 12-month warranty on all work. We stand behind our craftsmanship and use quality materials designed to resist future moisture damage. We'll discuss specific warranty terms during your consultation.
