Professional Dry Rot Specialists
Above Water provide expert dry rot treatment. As experienced damp proofing specialists, we protect homes and businesses from the damaging effects of dry rot and associated damp problems.
What Is Dry Rot?
Dry rot is an aggressive type of fungal growth that thrives in damp conditions. It attacks timber, causing decay and structural weakness. If left untreated, it spreads quickly through masonry and wood, leading to costly repairs. Our surveyors use advanced diagnostics to identify dry rot early and recommend effective treatment.
Signs of Dry Rot
Common signs that your property may be affected by dry rot include:
- Cracking or crumbling timber.
- A musty, damp smell.
- Orange or rust-coloured fungal spores.
- Weak, brittle wood that breaks easily.
- Deep cracks along the grain of timber.
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact Above Water for a professional damp survey.
