Does your house have dry rot?  We can take care of that for you!  Dry rot treatment refers to the techniques used to eliminate dry rot fungus and alleviate the damage done by the fungus to human-built wooden structures.

The commonly held view of an outbreak of the dry rot fungus (serpula lacrymans) within a building is that it is an extremely serious infestation that is hard to eradicate and requires drastic remedies. The traditional “orthodox” approach to treatment practised by most remedial timber treatment and damp proofing companies accordingly specifies the stripping out of building fabric beyond the visible extent of the infestation and the use of copious amounts of fungicide.

However, new approaches have been gaining ground driven mainly by those with a more scientific understanding of the fungus. The most prominent of which argues that dry rot can be eradicated simply by controlling the environment of the area in which it is growing in terms of reduced moisture levels and increased ventilation.

It is universally accepted that the first priority is to make repairs to rectify the cause of the dampness within the building that allowed the dry rot outbreak to occur in the first place and to promote the drying out of the affected area by taking measures such as increasing ventilation. It is in the way in which the affected building fabric is treated after this that the approaches differ.
