What Is Dry Rot?
Dry rot is a fungal decay caused by persistent moisture in timber. Unlike wet rot, dry rot can spread beyond the original damp area and affect large sections of a property if not treated correctly.
Common causes include:
- Rising damp
- Penetrating damp
- Leaking pipes or gutters
- Poor ventilation
- Long-term moisture build-up
This is why professional diagnosis is essential.
Signs You May Have Dry Rot
- Cracked or shrinking timber
- Deep cuboidal cracking in wood
- Brittle timber that crumbles easily
- Musty smell
- Orange/brown fungal growth
- Grey cotton-wool type strands
If you notice these signs, early intervention is crucial to avoid structural repair costs.
