Given enough time and the right conditions, wood rot problems in Chorley can completely destroy the wooden building materials in your house. It can be difficult to pinpoint rotting wood, especially if it is not easily noticeable. Undetected, wood rot can spread throughout your entire house, eventually causing extensive structural damage. If you suspect wood rot problems in your house, contact a professional damp proofer as soon as possible.

Older buildings and houses that have not been regularly maintained are at risk. In Chorley, wood rot problems are caused by wet timber. Moisture in the wooden parts of your house creates an environment that is ideal for fungal growth. This causes the wood’s fibres to deteriorate. If there is an unprotected wooden area in your house that is in contact with water over a long enough length of time, the wood will begin to rot. Wood decay spores can settle on the damp or wet wood, and when the conditions are right, will germinate into tiny fungus ‘plants’ that will penetrate the wood. If wood rot is not detected and removed, it can spread throughout the entire building and ultimately cause extensive and costly damage. While the problem is serious and needs attention, you can have it repaired and removed by calling in an expert damp proofer.
