Dry Rot & Wet Rot

MacMillan Preservation's Preservation Division is experienced in the Treatment Dry Rot and Wet Rot. When timber is exposed to prolonged wetting there is a risk of decay by wood rotting fungi. Some fungi require thorough remedial measures, while others require no treatment at all. Correct identification is essential if the right treatment is to be given.

Timber Defects	Problem	Cause
Wet Rot	Darkened wood with shallow cracks Freshly colonised wood shows distinctive yellow colouring Olive green growths	Wood soaked by water leakage
Wet Rot	Shallow cracks Wood breaks into cuboidal pieces White fern like growths	High temperature Damp woodwork
Dry Rot	Decayed wood, dull brown in colour Deep cracks along and across the grain Crumbles between Fingers Light in weight	Wood embedded in or in contact with wet brickwork Timber in badly ventilated areas
