Woodwork repairs
What is dry rot?
Dry rot is a type of fungal decay that can affect wood in buildings and other structures. It occurs when certain types of fungi feed on the wood, causing it to become brittle and crumble easily. This can lead to structural damage and compromise the integrity of the affected area.
What is wet rot?
Wet rot is a type of fungal decay that affects wood when it is consistently exposed to moisture. Wet rot specifically develops in wood with high levels of moisture content. The fungi responsible for wet rot break down the structure of the wood, causing it to lose strength and integrity.
