When it comes to maintaining the structural integrity and safety of your home, a few hidden threats can wreak havoc if left unchecked: dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm infestations. At AR Damp Proofing, we understand the importance of protecting your property from these damaging issues. Our comprehensive services are designed to identify, treat, and prevent these threats, ensuring a healthier environment for you and your family.

Understanding the Threats

Dry Rot

Dry rot is a fungal condition that primarily affects timber, often in hidden areas such as floor joists, roof timbers, and wall structures. It thrives in damp conditions, potentially leading to severe structural damage if not addressed swiftly. The spores of the dry rot fungus can travel widely, making early diagnosis crucial to prevent extensive damage.

Wet Rot

Wet rot, while similar to dry rot, occurs in a different manner. It forms in areas where there is prolonged dampness, such as around leaking pipes, roofs, or poorly ventilated areas. Wet rot tends to be easier to manage than dry rot but can still pose significant risks to the integrity of your wood structures if not promptly treated.

Woodworm

Woodworm refers to the larvae of beetles that infest timber, leaving tiny holes as they tunnel through wood. While they can be more of an aesthetic issue initially, prolonged infestation can lead to considerable structural damage. Identifying and treating woodworm quickly prevents the larvae from maturing and causing further harm.
