Dry rot is one of the most damaging fungal issues a property can face. If left untreated, it can compromise the structural integrity of timber, leading to severe and costly repairs. Cheshire Damp offers expert dry rot services in Wirral and Chester, ensuring your property is protected from this destructive problem.

Dry rot thrives in damp, poorly ventilated areas, such as basements, behind walls, and under floorboards. Unlike wet rot, dry rot can spread beyond the initial damp zone, making it a serious concern. Early signs include a musty smell, cracked or brittle wood, and the appearance of fungal growth, often with orange or grey spore patches. If you notice any of these symptoms, immediate action is essential to prevent further damage.

At Cheshire Damp, we take a comprehensive approach to tackling dry rot. Our specialists begin with a detailed inspection to identify the source of the issue, such as leaking pipes, rising damp, or condensation. Once the cause is addressed, we treat the affected areas with advanced fungicidal solutions and remove decayed timber, replacing it with high-quality treated wood. We also apply preventative measures to ensure the fungus doesn’t return.
