Wet Rot and Dry Rot Treatment in Bexhill
Protecting your property from timber decay is essential for maintaining its structural integrity and market value. In Bexhill's coastal environment, high humidity and sea air can often exacerbate damp issues, leading to the development of Wet Rot and Dry Rot. At Poulton Remedial Services, we provide specialist surveys and industry-leading treatments to eradicate fungal infestations and prevent them from returning.
Understanding the Threat of Dry Rot
Dry rot is the most serious form of fungal decay because of its unique ability to spread through masonry and behind plaster to find new timber. Despite its name, it requires a moisture content of around 20% to take hold. Once established, it can cause significant structural damage in a short period. Our Bexhill dry rot specialists are trained to identify the distinct mushroom-like odor and deep cuboidal cracking that signal an active infestation, ensuring we catch the problem before it compromises your floor joists or roof timbers.
Targeted Wet Rot Treatment
Wet rot is more common than dry rot and typically occurs in areas with localised dampness, such as leaking pipes, blocked gutters, or poorly sealed windows. While it does not spread through walls like dry rot, it can still severely weaken the wood if left untreated. Our team focuses on a dual-action approach: identifying and fixing the source of moisture and replacing the damaged timber with pre-treated wood to ensure long-term durability against Bexhill's wet winter months.
Professional Surveys and Specialist Treatments
Successful treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. Because the treatments for wet and dry rot differ significantly, a professional survey is vital to avoid unnecessary costs. We utilise advanced moisture-tracking technology to map the extent of the damp. Our remediation process includes the application of high-specification fungicidal treatments, timber preservation, and structural repairs. We don't just fix the symptoms; we address the environmental causes to ensure your home remains dry and rot-free for years to come.
