Dry Rot: 

Dry rot is the common name given to one particular wood destroying fungus, Serpula lacrymans. It is probably the most destructive of all wood rots, having the ability to travel from one timber to another across damp masonry and soils. 

Like all rots dry rot must have dampness to originate, develop and survive; it also likes stagnant conditions and it is therefore secretive and often difficult to find before significant damage has taken place.

Realcure's solution: 

Our primary action is to identify the source of water ingress, stop it and promote rapid drying conditions. 

Our next objective is to remove affected timbers and protect those that are unaffected but remain vulnerable. Replaced timbers are pre-treated and protected. Targeted chemical treatment will be used to assist in the control and prevention of further dry rot development. Where possible we will retain as much of the structure as possible to maintain the character of the property and minimise its costs.
