Wet & Dry Rot Specialists Glasgow
Wet and dry rot are two of the most destructive types of timber decay that can affect properties in Glasgow. These fungal infestations can compromise the structural integrity of your home or business, leading to costly repairs if not addressed promptly. At Matheson Damp Services, we specialise in diagnosing and treating both wet and dry rot in Glasgow and across central Scotland. Ensure your property remains safe, sound, and free from further damage by calling in the experts.
Understanding Wet and Dry Rot
Wet Rot is caused by high levels of moisture, typically from leaks, condensation, or rising damp. It thrives in environments where timber remains consistently damp, leading to the breakdown of the wood’s structure. Wet rot is often identified by the following signs:
- Damp, musty smell
- Darkened, softened wood
- Cracked or crumbling timber
- Localised fungus growth
Dry Rot, on the other hand, is more insidious. It requires less moisture to thrive and can spread rapidly throughout a building, even through materials like brick and plaster, in search of more timber to feed on. Signs of dry rot include:
- Shrunken, brittle wood with deep cracks
- A distinct mushroom-like odor
- The presence of grey or white fungal growth (mycelium)
- Rust-colored spore dust
Both wet and dry rot can cause significant damage to Glasgow’s historic and modern properties alike, making early detection and treatment crucial.
