Dry Rot Repair
Repair Dry Rot Damage
Maintaining the structural integrity of your home is crucial, and one of the biggest threats to that stability is dry rot. It’s easy to overlook and if unchecked, can cost you in the long-run. We offer services to help prevent and repair any dry rot damage to secure your home for the future.
What is Dry Rot?
Dry rot is a form of wood decay caused by fungi that can compromise the structural integrity of your home. These fungi break down the components that give wood its strength - leaving it brittle and weak. Dry rot occurs in wood with a moisture content above 20%, making moisture control a key factor in preventing and eliminating it.
In the Pacific Northwest, where wet weather is common, dry rot repair is a frequent necessity for homeowners. Nordic Roofing specializes in identifying and repairing dry rot in decks, porches, stairs, beams, joists, and other structural elements.
Why Removing Dry Rot Is Critical
Wood affected by dry rot becomes unstable and dangerous. Whether it is in load-bearing structures or decorative elements like window frames and trim, proper assessment and repair are essential. Our team identifies the moisture source to prevent future decay, removes or repairs the affected wood, and ensures a seamless finish so your home looks as good as new.
Types of Dry Rot
Brown Rot (Traditional Dry Rot): The most common type, leaving wood brittle and cracked.
White Rot: A lighter, spongy form that thrives in attic spaces with temperatures between 65° and 90°F.
Soft Rot: A slower but resilient decay process that can survive in extreme temperatures from 0° to 110°F.
Load-bearing structures affected by dry rot require full replacement to maintain the safety of your home, while non-structural elements may be repairable depending on the severity of the damage. Let our experts assess your home and determine the best solution for your needs.
