GET RID OF YOUR DRY ROT
The term "dry rot" is a misnomer, because it’s
really a fungus that requires moisture to live.
Dry rot ♥ Seattle weather! The fungus soaks
up moisture from timber, and then develop
strands which can travel across and through
bricks and mortar to other timbers in
unventilated conditions. It cannot feed on the
masonry but carries the moisture with it in the
strands to allow it to spread. We’ve seen dry
rot in walls, decks, framing and joists. The
presence of small red ants in your home is a
sign that you may have moisture problems.
Snowridge frequently discovers dry rot while
we’re installing new windows or siding, or
building decks. Leaky gutters are often
culprits of unwanted moisture. The most
important step in ridding your home of dry rot
is to find the leak that’s feeding it. Eliminating
the moisture will keep the fungus from
spreading. Usually, the repair process
involves locating all the damaged wood and
either replacing it, or treating it with epoxy
products
If you suspect your home is under siege from
this insidious fungus, call us at (425)402-
