Rotten Wood Solutions for Triangle Area Homes
Does the wood or trim on the outside of your home look like it's darkening or crumbling? It may be dry rot—or wood rot as it’s commonly called. It’s caused by a certain fungus that deteriorates timber in buildings and other wooden construction. R&D painting can fix the issue and get the affected area painted in just two days.
There are a few telltale signs that your siding may have dry rot, which include:
-Buckling, cracking or peeling of the paint or finish.
-Visible cracks, holes or splits in the wood.
-Sawdust or wood fragments around the base of your home.
-Mushy or spongy feeling wood.
-Fungus or mold growing on or near the siding.
If you suspect that your siding has dry rot, it's important to have it inspected by a professional as soon as possible. Left unchecked, dry rot can cause significant damage to your home's structure and ultimately lead to expensive repairs.
Signs Of Dry Rot Or Decaying Wood
- It takes on a dark, brown or crumbly appearance.
- It is brittle and can be crushed into powder.
- You are able to stick your finger through the wood.
- Your outside walls have an unappealing, flakey look.
Simply painting over the issue isn’t solving your problem. R&D Painting eliminates the fungus that causes dry rot by replacing the wood with PVC or planks and then caulking and painting it to match your initial color. You will never experience dry rot in the affected area again.
