FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do you identify dry rot?
We conduct thorough inspections to locate and assess all areas affected by dry rot. While some problems are obvious on the surface, others can only be spotted by a trained eye. Using a combination of moisture detection methods and prodding, our estimators can and will identify the problem, cause, and solution for your repairs.
What is involved in the repair process?
We approach all of our repairs in the same manner:
1. Identify and inspect the area of concern, including the potential causes for rot (failed caulking, flashing, etc.)
2. Remove all visible damage and inspect the subsurface for any signs of additional concerns. If present, our estimators will quote additional costs if the original scope of work doesn't cover it.
3. Replace the materials and address the root cause of damage, which can vary significantly.
Your home will be restored to original condition (or better) when our technicians are finished.
Can dry rot be prevented?
Yes, the most common causes of dry rot are:
- failed caulking
- lack of flashing
- worn paint/materials which allows for water penetration
- leaking pipes/appliances/showers/etc
A maintenance inspection can be performed by our estimators to identify any potential issues and a comprehensive plan can be written to address any concerns.
