Signs of Wet or Dry Rot in Your Property

Both wet and dry rot are common types of fungal decay that affect properties across Scotland caused by excessive moisture or poor ventilation. A rot outbreak can weaken timber and can spread if left untreated and the source of moisture is not eliminated.

If you spot any of the following signs of wood rot, it’s time to call our Stirling team for an inspection:

  • Damp, musty odours in affected areas
  • Flaking, brittle, or crumbling timber
  • Darkened wood or shrinking timbers
  • Visible fungal growth (such as white mycelium or spore dust)
  • Soft, spongy wood that crumbles under pressure

Wet Rot Treatment in Stirling

Wet rot occurs when timber is exposed to persistent damp conditions, often caused by leaks or inadequate ventilation. Left untreated, it can weaken structural wood and spread to other areas. Our Stirling specialist technicians will:

  1. Locate the source of moisture causing the rot.
  2. Remove affected wood and replace it with treated timber.
  3. Apply fungicidal treatments to prevent recurrence.
  4. Provide recommendations for improving ventilation, damp proofing and preventing further moisture ingress.

Dry Rot Treatment in Stirling

Dry rot can be more damaging than wet rot, thriving in poorly ventilated areas with intermittent dampness. It can spread rapidly, causing significant damage to timber and can travel through masonry and plaster searching for more timber to attack.

Our qualified team will:

  1. Conduct a thorough survey to assess the extent of the damage and the source of the moisture
  2. Provide you with a detailed report outlining recommendations and any work, if necessary.
  3. Treating infected areas with specialised fungicides.
  4. Removing and replacing affected timbers with treated wood.
  5. Preventing further issues by addressing moisture sources.
  6. Peace of mind through long term guarantees, where applicable.
