What is Dry Rot?

Dry rot is a form of timber decay caused primarily by the fungal growth, serpula lacrymans. It is the most serious form of fungal decay found within a building which can severely impact structural integrity as it aggressively spreads from one area of timber to the next.
If decay is discovered it should be identified and remedial action taken without delay.

How can I tell if I have Dry Rot?

  • When timber is damaged by dry rot it usually looks brown in colour with dry and brittle cuboidal cracking.
  • Can your timber be easily broken or crumbled?
  • Are there grey strands on your timber? Are there any fungal growths (a brown fruiting body with a white border)?
