Causes & Signs of Dry Rot
Every home will eventually show signs of dry rot in Bellevue. Dry rot is caused by a wood fungus that feeds on damp wood and thrives in our climate. Homes can be affected by dry rot, as a result of weather conditions, roof leaks, or plumbing issues. This fungus is extremely destructive and may threaten the structural integrity of your home, so watching for signs of trouble and taking a proactive approach is important for protecting your property.
Signs of dry rot include:
- Wood damage or decay
- A dank, musty odor
- Brittle wood
- Discolored wood surfaces
- Deep cracks in timber
- Areas on the floor give when walking on it
The fungus that causes dry rot often enters homes through areas where excessive moisture is present, such as loose roofing shingles, the kitchen or bathroom, and exterior wood around windows, doors, or gutters. Once inside your home, the fungus continues spreading and causing decay in healthy wood. Removing all affected wood is essential for stopping the spread and protecting your home.

Dry Rot Repair
Dry rot happens in stages from minimal damage to wood that is completely decayed and crumbling. Catching it in the early stages can help prevent extensive damage. Repairing dry rot damage and getting rid of the fungus requires removing all affected materials. The work that is needed to eliminate dry rot will depend on the extent of the problem and areas of the house that are affected.
Stopping dry rot may require repair or replacement of:
- Frames around doors and windows
- Roof shingles, soffit, facia, and gutters
- Wood floors, subfloors, and joists
- Deck floorboards and posts
- Damaged wood in the kitchen or bathroom
The progression of dry rot will continue until the house is completely dilapidated. Finding and eradicating the fungus in the early stages results in less damage and a faster repair process. Due to the widespread damage that can be caused by this fungus and the repairs that may be needed, working with a qualified and experienced contractor is essential to a successful repair.
