Damp survey and

Dry rot is a destructive and fast-spreading fungus infection that deteriorates the strength and stiffness of timber. Once established, it quickly pumps spores from your wooden structures to eventually form large masses known as mycelium.
If you spot any sign of dry rot, it’s essential to act quickly before the fungus causes any further damage. At Insitu south coast preservation, we have over two decades of experience removing dry rot from new, old and listed buildings that have aesthetic heritage.

Penetrating Damp Remedies

Penetrating damp occurs when water infiltrates your property through external defects or internal issues, resulting in damage to your walls, ceilings, and furnishings. To effectively combat penetrating damp, it’s crucial to identify the source of water ingress and implement appropriate repairs. Our qualified damp proofing surveyor can assess your property to determine the cause of the dampness and the extent of required repairs.

Once the source of the dampness is identified, our damp proofing specialists will remove the affected material and apply a physical waterproofing membrane to expedite the drying process. Furthermore, external issues must be addressed, which may involve coating the exterior wall with a chemical water repellent to ensure water remains outside your property, protecting your living space from further damage. Prompt and effective management of penetrating damp is instrumental in preserving your home’s structural integrity and comfort.

Dry rot FAQ's

What is dry rot?

Dry rot is a fungal timber decay that spores in poorly ventilated areas of your property. Left untreated, it can result in the cracking, crumbling and powdering of wood structures in your property.

Signs of dry rot in your timber structures include:
• Red dust from spreading spores
• Fine and fluffy white mycelium
• Mushroom-like fruiting
• Cracking and crumbling timber
• Musty, earthy odours
• Shrinking of wooden structures

Dry rot is a result of Serpula Lacrymans fungal spores spreading in timber that exceeds moisture levels of 20 percent. If your property has wood structures in poorly ventilated areas, it’s far more likely you’ll experience dry rot.
The cost of dry rot treatment will depend on the scope and severity of the affected area. Where some projects require a simple treatment application, others might need a complete timber structure replacement. As every case is different, it’s best to consult a specialist.
Dry rot is the most serious and destructive form of fungal decay. If your property is suffering from dry rot, you should consult a specialist as soon as possible. Left untreated, dry rot not only damages your timber structures, but also presents respiratory health risks to you and your family.
