Causes and Effects of Wood Rot

Rotten wood is primarily caused by excess moisture, which creates the perfect environment for mold, mildew, and wood-decaying fungi. Termite infestation is another potential cause of wood rot. Common sources of moisture include leaks, poor drainage, inadequate ventilation, or high humidity in crawlspaces. Timely repair is essential to prevent further damage and protect your home's structural integrity. If left unaddressed, rotted wood can:

• Weaken the structural framework of your home
• Lead to sagging or sloping floors, soft spots, and a compromised foundation
• Cause doors and windows to misalign or stick due to structural shifts
• Create favorable conditions for pest infestations, such as termites and carpenter ants
• Increase the risk of costly repairs as the damage spreads over time
• Pose serious safety hazards to your family
