Furthermore, both new and old timber found in UK properties is susceptible to wood rot if exposed to the conditions which cause these timber diseases to form.

Causes & Types of Wood Rot
The combination of moisture and a room’s lack of ventilation provides the perfect conditions for fungal attacks on timber to occur, causing a myriad of problems including wood rot. Once it has established itself, the fungus weakens the cell structure of the timber and threatens the quality of the wood, creating problems similar to those caused by dry rot and wet rot. Although they’re both causes of fungal timber decay, they each differ as they develop. Whereas wet rot tends to stay localised, dry rot can cause a full infestation of your home or commercial property, spreading through the building and even affecting the brickwork. Dry rot is most responsible for large-scale wood decay, however, they can both cause a significant amount of damage to structural timbers. That’s why we at Mercian Preservation, wood rot treatment specialists based in Dudley, offer a dry and wet rot elimination service to give our valued customers complete protection and total peace of mind.
Providing Effective Wood Rot Diagnosis and Control
Damp conditions are the perfect breeding ground for wood rot to take hold and spread. Wet rot usually remains localised to the area which is damp, causing the formation of a fungus which breaks down the organic cells present within wood. You will find that this process continues until the timber has been consumed entirely and is no longer able to perform its role. Dry rot is usually more serious and has the capability to spread from surface to surface, consuming sections of timber which weren’t initially infected and are quite a distance away from the original source of the damp problem. Each type of rot can cause significant amounts of structural damage which is why it so important to commence remedial action as soon as possible.
