Dry rot is the most serious form of fungal decay. Dry rot fungus is very destructive as it spreads across masonry and destroys all timber in its path including structural timbers, skirting boards, door frames, and flooring. It affects all types of properties, new and old, and can be detrimental to a property if left untreated as the fungus can weaken the structural integrity of a building and cause it to collapse.

Dry rot is a serious form of fungal timber decay that can cause significant damage to timber within a property. Despite its name, dry rot requires moisture to develop and spread, so identifying and addressing the underlying source of damp is an important part of effective treatment.
A good first step is to identify where moisture is entering the property. This could be caused by leaking roofs, defective gutters, poor ventilation, plumbing leaks or water penetration. Once the source has been addressed, the affected timber can be assessed to determine the extent of the dry rot and whether surrounding areas may also be affected.
Where possible, affected timber may be treated and retained, but timber that has become extensively weakened or structurally compromised may need to be removed and replaced. In some cases, surrounding timber and masonry may also require treatment to help prevent the dry rot from spreading further.
If you suspect dry rot in your Dundee property, contact Global Preservation for professional advice and an assessment.
