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 wet rot in its tracks before it starts impacting your timber.
The common causes of wet rot are:
• Leaking gutters
• Cracked render
• Poor ventilation
• Condensation in basements or crawlspaces
Stopping wet rot starts with regularly maintaining and addressing these sources of moisture, before they turn into major repair projects.
