You may need the services of a wood rot repair specialist in Leigh if you have identified the tell-tale signs of an infestation. This problem is more than just a nuisance. Advanced decay can cause the structural failure of your home. The primary cause of rot is moisture in timbers. Wood destroying fungi feed off this moisture and visible signs of rot damage appear on the affected timber. Wet and dry rot spores will only develop if the environmental conditions are suitable. Unfortunately, dry rot spores are always present in the atmosphere. Once they land on timber, they will germinate and produce hyphae. These hyphae strands join together to form mycelium which can vary in colour from grey to pure white. They then grow into and across the damp wood. They can also grow in materials such as plaster, bricks and mortar in their search for more wood.

Tell-tale signs of a rot problem in your home include brown dust or fruiting patches inside your rooms or on wooden furniture, or the smell of mushrooms.
