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.
All our work is covered by our comprehensive 25 year
guarantee.
