During the preconstruction phase, a strategic plan is created and put in place. This plan needs to cover every element of the project ahead and include:
What is dry rot?
Dry rot is the decay of wood caused by fungi. It is also commonly known as Brown Rot. It can affect both the interior and exterior of your property. The fungi structurally break down the strength and integrity of the wood. It typically starts in wood with a moisture content great than 20%.
Can dry rot spread?
Yes! The dry rot produces spores that can spread through the air and create an even larger problem if not taken care of.
How do I check for rot?
The simple answer is, poke it. Use a screwdriver and if the tip sinks in greater than 1/8 inch, you should have it inspected. Other signs of rot include obvious decay, a musty smell, grey strands on the wood, brown-orange patches, deep cracks, and spongey areas.
