Finding Rotten Wood
Sometimes, rotting wood is in plain sight. You may spot it, or your painting contractor may bring it to your attention during house painting. Unfortunately, occasionally rotten wood goes unnoticed for years until it's caused significant damage and could compromise the structural integrity of your home.
Whatever stage your wood is in, you need professional rotten wood replacement. If you know or suspect you have rotten wood, it's time to get proactive and schedule an assessment. Signs of wood decay include:
- Soft "spongy" wood
- Musty smell
- Fungus/mold growth
- Darker wood
- Cracked wood that "crumbles" to the touch
If you've had flooding or moisture problems, it's a good idea to have your home checked regularly for possible wood damage, mold development, or rot.
Small Rot Can Mean Big Problems
The biggest problem with rot is that it starts off small. It's easy to go unnoticed or ignored. However, the longer you leave it be, the worse it gets, especially in damp conditions.
