What is dry rot?

Dry rot is a type of wood-decaying fungus (Serpula lacrymans) that feeds on the cellulose in timber. It can spread quickly, weakening the structure of your property and causing serious damage if left untreated.

What causes dry rot?

Dry rot thrives in damp, poorly ventilated conditions. Leaks, rising damp, or poor airflow in your property can create the perfect environment for it to grow and spread.

How long does a pest control treatment take?

The duration of a pest control treatment will depend on the type and severity of the infestation, as well as the size of your property. Your pest control technician can provide you with an estimate of how long the treatment will take and any preparation that may be required..

Is dry rot dangerous?

While it’s not a direct health hazard to humans, dry rot can seriously weaken the structural integrity of your home or building. In severe cases, it can make areas unsafe until repaired.

How quickly can dry rot spread?

Dry rot can spread alarmingly fast — moving through timber, masonry, and even behind walls. This is why quick detection and treatment are essential to limit damage and cost.

Can I treat dry rot myself?

No — dry rot requires professional expertise and specialist treatments. DIY fixes usually fail to address the underlying cause, allowing the fungus to return.
