Wet Rot Survey and Treatment

Before treatment, one of our qualified surveyors will conduct a thorough property inspection (wet rot survey) to assess the extent of the rot problem and decide whether there is a need for treatment. At this point, plaster, skirting or paneling may need to be removed to determine the full extent of wet rot and its causes.

Our surveyor will also:

Check for sources of damp that led to the rot
Look for associated problems such as dry rot, damp or insect infestations
Identify other areas of your property that could be at risk
Provide the most cost-effective solution to your problem
Provide you with a full report outlining findings in each specific area of your property

Dealing with Wet Rot

After a wet rot treatment survey has been completed, a solution has been agreed upon and our surveyor has arranged a suitable date with you; our technicians will come and rectify your wet rot problem. Our trained technicians will go through the following steps to treat your property for wet rot:

1. Stop the Moisture Source

To locate and treat the source of moisture, our trained technicians will remove any infected wood and wall plaster. The source of moisture is then repaired and dried before wet rot treatment can be applied; this will prevent wet rot spores from germination in the future.

2. Remove Damaged Area

To prevent the spread of your current rot fungus problem; skirtings, panelling, ceilings and plaster that have been damaged or started to decay are removed.

3. Treating Wet Rot

A protective chemical barrier in the form of fungicidal paste is applied if structural timbers and brickwork are affected by the wet rot fungus. Once applied, the fungicidal paste will not only prevent wet rot from re-establishing itself but prevent attacks from woodworm for many years to come.

4. Damaged Timber Replacement

Once our property technicians is satisfied that the wet rot treatment has entirely eradicated rot from your home, they will begin replacing removed timber with preservative-treated timbers
