Did you know, If left untreated, wood can take as little as 1 month or as long as 3 years to rot, depending on the conditions it’s exposed to. If the wooden area is untreated and sitting in water, exposed to hot or humid air, or is near the ground, it will likely start to show signs of rotting by 6 months. Wood that is uncleaned or regularly holds water can rot in 1 to 3 years. Regularly treating, staining, painting, or pressure-washing wood is the best line of defense against rot if a homeowner hopes to maintain it over time #facts#seasonalmaintenance
