Wet and dry rot are the terms more commonly used to describe a form of fungal decay. Eastleigh customers who’ve encountered this issue should waste no time in calling Insite Southern as such issues can lead to more serious problems developing. It is estimated that fungal decay is discovered in around 35% of surveys and is usually an indicator of a damp proofing issue.
If left unchecked, wet and dry rot can cause extensive structural damage to properties in Eastleigh. Fungal decay attacks the timber, including the main frame that makes up the structure of the building. If compromised, the entire property itself could end up condemned. If you wish to avoid this eventuality, call our team now.
You cannot overstate the importance of having issues such as fungal decay in Eastleigh handled by a team of trained surveyors. Historic buildings, in particular, don’t feature the same sort of damp proofing found in newer properties. Damp issues can also be harder to track down, so you’ll need a team skilled in performing discovery and analysis.
Dry rot tends to spread, and it’s possible for this rot to spread throughout a property quickly, even penetrating through brick and plaster. Any timber that’s affected by dry rot will be rapidly reduced to a dry, brittle mass. By comparison, wet rot is easier to contain as it doesn’t spread, remaining confined to damp locations. We can assist with both types of fungal decay. Eastleigh customers need only call to set up an appointment.
The first step is to visit the property in question to carry out an in-depth survey. Our remedial team will quickly locate the infestation and identify the cause of it too. Once we have an idea of what the problem is, what’s causing it, and the most effective solution for it; you’ll be presented with a free, no-obligation quote. When it comes to fungal decay, Eastleigh customers won’t find a more affordable option anywhere else.
For dry rot treatments, all affected timber and plaster must be removed along with any surrounding timber or plaster to a distance of at least 1m. The exposed brickwork and masonry is treated using a powerful chemical fungicide, and pre-treated timber is then installed. Eastleigh, fungal decay treatments for wet rot are a little less involved, but still involve replacing affected timbers with treated timbers.
In addition to fungal decay, Insite Southern can also assist in other areas too. The services we offer include:
