How Does Dry Rot Start?
Dry rot starts when a spore finds untreated timber in unventilated, damp areas. It grows a body called the hyphenium, which resembles a small bit of raw liver. The body feeds on the moisture and cellular material of the timber, drying it out until it becomes a crumbling mass of sawdust.
How to repair dry rot
Most people don't realize that your roof is where a lot of dry rot damage originates. Taking off the boards that surround the roof or directly under the roof should only be done by an experienced carpenter and waterproofer. Another very important detail most people don't know is that if you hire a termite repair contractor to remove boards attached to or under your roof that the roof will need to be significantly repaired in that same area. Why, because roof failure is one of the most common reasons for dry rot occurring in those areas. If not, that area will continue to be a problem and the dry rot will come back. That's why we hear from home owners that had dry rot repairs done only to be have the dry rot condition re-appear within a short period of time.
