If there’s any reason to suspect dry rot in your home, it’s important that you contact the experts as soon as possible. At Gary McKibbin Preservation, all of our staff are well-trained to identify the issue and provide a thorough application of dry rot fungicide to deal with it. Based in Belfast, we can provide dry rot repair services across all of Northern Ireland.
Dry rot is a type of fungus which causes wood to decay, needing only a low moisture content to thrive. This makes it extra damaging, as it can quickly grow through damp masonry, brickwork, or plaster, and digests the wooden parts of your property as it spreads. This can mean further dry rot repair even once the fungus is removed.
How dry rot spreads
What makes dry rot unique and particularly dangerous if left untreated is its ability to spread rapidly through materials which give it no nourishment. It achieves this by branching off fungal strands that give it an extensive and sometimes hard-to-spot reach throughout a property. By the time the spores become clear, significant damage can already have been done.
