How to identify wet or dry rot
Wet rot appears on timber that has been left in damp conditions. Visible fungal growth, unpleasant musty smells and cracked or softened timber are some of the most common signs of wet rot in your property. Dry rot is a more severe condition and is characterised by the appearance of white, fluffy fungal growths, orange fungus, and brittle, darkened timber. Both wet and dry rot can appear anywhere in your home or business property but are most often seen in roofs or basements, which is why we recommend thorough property inspections to catch issues early.
Your wet and dry rot specialists
If areas that are affected by wet rot and dry rot are left to develop and not treated promptly by a professional team, then your property could experience severe structural problems. To protect structural timber, improve building safety, and prevent further spread of rot, it is vital to eliminate fungal decay at the source through effective moisture management.
BWT Southern provides effective dry and wet rot treatment services in Fareham and right across the region. Our skilled and experienced team can replace damaged timber where required, delivering high-quality workmanship, honest recommendations, and free quotations for every project.
