Dry Rot Liverpool

---

Dry Rot Liverpool is one of the most structurally threatening conditions you can get in your home. It thrives by growing in places with high levels of damp and moisture. This could originate from many sources, such as a drip from a leaking pipe, rain water coming through the roof or damaged gutters or drain pipes.  Once it starts growing (often unseen), it can cause serious damage on timber anywhere in your home. 

Dry Rot spores are omnipresent.  By themselves these spores are harmless, however if they have contact with water they germinate forming a large cotton wool like fungus. Once it reaches this stage, dry rot can cause serious structural damage to your property over time.

Dry Rot frequently grows where people cannot see or notice, such behind plaster, under joists and floorboards or up in the loft.  It can even grow inside the cracks and wall cavities feeding off debris and wood behind the plaster. 

Dry Rot Survey

We always recommend having a detailed inspection to identify the degree of any dry rot problem.  We can check the progress of dry rot infestations in unexposed areas of your home.  If our dry rot survey Liverpool reveals the presence of dry rot, then we recommend a step by step treatment process dependant on the severity of moisture.

If our survey reveals the presence of dry rot, then treatment recommended by us will depend on the level of moisture. This may be enough to stop a minor outbreak, but where it is more widespread we may recommend carrying out the process of removing plaster, applying dry rot fungicide and replacing damaged timbers, such as skirting boards and joists. 

Whatever procedure needs to be carried out, all works are completed by our qualified trained surveyors and technicians.  For customer's peace of mind, Dry Rot eradication by Abbey Damp carries a 10 year Guarantee.
