Dry rot treatment in Newcastle is extremely complex and requires specialist knowledge. Improper treatment may result in extending the outbreak further, in the worst case scenario. All patches must be carefully removed and treated with fungicide, including those in underfloor surfaces and inside interior walls.
Wet rotting is considerably less destructive. However, it can still cause similar damage given enough time. If the moisture content of wet timber or woodwork is above 50%, the wood will begin to break down and decay as it would in the forest. Unlike dry rotting, it cannot spread through brickwork or plaster.
However, left for long enough it can easily destroy or damage floorboards, furniture, joist ends, and skirting boards, particularly if they have been placed against another damp surface or wall. It can encourage pest infestations and mould into your building, as well.
Wet rot treatment Newcastle is usually much easier to successfully complete. The most common method is to remove and replace the wet wood and to install better damp proofing in the building to prevent a recurrence. If penetrating or rising moisture is causing the rot as a symptom, it must also be mitigated to prevent any further damage. This can mean installing better damp insulation or checking building features, such as membranes and exterior cladding, for cracks or faults.
