The key differences between wet and dry rot

Though dry rot suggests no moisture at all, this is not the case. The process actually requires a low level of dampness in the timber to flourish. Usually found in enclosed spaces that are not so obvious, such as behind timber cladding or wooden floors, it can travel quickly. Wet rot is more common and only supports itself in very damp wood. Found under painted surfaces or plastered walls, for example, it has a soft, spongy feel with dark spotting.

What problems can dry and wet rot cause?

Once wet rot or dry rot takes hold, in time it can have devastating effects on wooden structures and foundations. It is highly recommended that an expert assess the situation and treat the problem with care as soon as possible.
