Common causes of wet rot
Wet rot can severely weaken timbers and compromise the integrity of your property. In an effort to combat this, we wanted to outline the top causes of wet rot in properties, so that you can prevent them or stop them in their tracks before they start impacting your timbers.
The common causes of wet rot are:
• Leaking gutters
• Cracked render
• Poor ventilation
• Condensation in basements or crawlspaces
Prevention of wet rot issues starts with regularly maintaining and addressing these moisture sources, before they turn into major repairs.
