Trade’s Tip: How to spot wood rot

Rotten wood isn’t just an eye sore. It can be dangerous and endanger the structure of your home. Spot the rot and get your home restored before it’s too late. Ask yourself these questions to identify wood rot:

  • Is there a fungus growing on timber?
  • Does lumber feel soft or spongy?
  • Is wood darker or lighter than normal?

If you answered “yes” to any of the questions, it’s time to get an assessment to evaluate the damage.
