Professional Wet Rot Specialists

Above Water provide expert wet rot treatment for properties. Our damp proofing specialists diagnose wet rot issues early and deliver tailored solutions to protect your home or business.


What Is Wet Rot?

Wet rot is a form of timber decay caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of moisture. Unlike dry rot, it does not spread as aggressively but can still cause significant structural damage if left untreated. Wet rot is commonly found in areas affected by rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation.

Signs of Wet Rot

Typical signs that your property may be suffering from wet rot include:

  • Soft, spongy or weakened timber.
  • Darkened or discoloured wood.
  • Cracked paint or damaged finishes.
  • Musty smells in affected areas.
  • Localised fungal growth on wood.

If you notice any of these issues, our damp surveys can confirm the presence of wet rot.

Our Wet Rot Treatment Process

We provide a step-by-step approach to eliminate wet rot and prevent recurrence:

  • Damp surveys & advanced diagnostics.
  • Identification of moisture sources such as leaks or rising damp.
  • Removal of affected timber where necessary.
  • Application of protective treatments to surrounding areas.
  • Installation of damp proofing solutions to stop further decay.
