How does one identify wet rot? What about dry rot? Do you know the difference?
Wet rot is a fungus that geminates on really wet wood by eating the nutrients within the wood. The good news is that wet rot only affects wet wood and will not spread to dry areas. Dry rot, on the other hand, is much more dangerous. Similar to wet rot, dry rot is a fungus that germinates on wet wood that has the potential to spread further to both wet and dry wood. Dry rot will suck the nutrients out of the wood causing serious structural failure. If you think you have a wet rot or dry rot issue, do not hesitate to call in the professionals.
