Dry Rot Survey in Kettering - Identifying the Hidden Cause of Timber Decay
Our Timberwise Peterborough team recently carried out a dry rot survey at a property in Kettering, where we discovered extensive fungal growth across items stored in the client’s porch - including their hats!
The problem stemmed from a leaking downpipe, which had increased the moisture content in the surrounding timber door frame. This created the perfect environment for dry rot spores to germinate and spread, causing significant decay behind the scenes.
Dry rot can develop quickly when timber is exposed to damp conditions, often remaining unnoticed until visible damage appears. Our experienced surveyors use their knowledge and diagnostic tools to trace the root cause, assess the extent of decay, and provide tailored recommendations to restore and protect the property.
If you’re concerned about damp or timber decay in your home, contact your local Timberwise specialist for expert advice and a thorough property survey.
