What is dry rot?

Dry rot is a type of wood decay that is caused by fungi. These fungi break down the cellulose and lignin in wood, causing it to become weak and brittle. Dry rot can occur in any type of wood, but is most commonly found in softwoods. 

Dry rot can spread quickly if left untreated and can cause extensive structural and cosmetic damage to property. Not to mention, there are also health risks associated with breathing in the spores.

Dry rot in Kent explained

Dry rot is most commonly found in older homes, but can occur in any property if conditions are favourable for its growth. The three main things that these fungi need to thrive are moisture, oxygen, and warmth. 

Dry rot usually starts out as a small problem, but can quickly spread throughout a property if left untreated. Dry rot can spread through plastering, rendering and brickwork, leading to extensive structural damage that can be expensive and messy to put right.

How do I spot dry rot?

The first step in treating dry rot is to identify the problem. Dry rot usually starts out as a small patch of discoloured wood, but can quickly spread to cover larger areas. The affected wood will usually have a crumbly texture and will darken in colour. You may also notice a musty smell coming from the affected area.

Dry rot spreads through spores, and you might notice patches of red, brown or yellow spores around your home. And finally, you might even notice large mushroom-like structures growing on the affected wood. These are called fruiting bodies, and they release spores into the air, which can then spread the problem to other areas of your home.

If you notice any of these signs in your home, it’s important to get in touch with a professional as soon as possible.
