Lifecote Dry and Wet Rot                                     

Dry rot is the most serious of decay to be found in buildings. Damp timbers with inadequate ventilation are the most susceptible to dry rot attack. Once established the dry rot will spread rapidly growing through plaster, brickwork and masonry, in search of further timbers to attack. Infected timbers will become dry, crack and lose their natural strength, and if left untreated, may lead to structural failure.

There are several fungi species of wet rot, which flourish, in extremely damp conditions. Particular timbers which are susceptible to wet rot fungi attack are:- Skirting Boards, Joists, Wall plates (rising damp) Roofing timbers, Window frames, Fascia and Soffit Boards (rain water penetration)
