Wood Rot Isn’t Just Ugly—It’s a Structural Warning Sign
That soft, spongy spot in your siding? That musty smell creeping through the wall? It’s not just a cosmetic issue—it could be dry rot. And if you wait too long, what started as a small patch could end up compromising entire sections of your home or business.
Dry rot moves fast. It thrives in moisture-rich wood and often spreads in places you can’t see—under siding, behind trim, or in roof eaves. By the time you notice it, serious damage may already be underway.
So What Causes Dry Rot?
Dry rot is caused by a fungus—Serpula lacrymans—that breaks down the cellulose in wood. And Sacramento’s climate? Warm summers and wet winters make this area a prime breeding ground.
Common causes include:
- Water leaks or poor drainage
- Lack of ventilation in attics or crawlspaces
- Prolonged exposure to moisture
- Wood that was never properly treated or sealed
If your wood smells musty, looks darker than usual, or flakes apart when touched, don’t wait for it to get worse.
Why Call a Professional?
Dry rot repair isn’t a weekend DIY project. Once it’s set in, you need to get rid of all infected material and stop the fungus from spreading. Otherwise, it’ll just come back—often worse.
At Pest Control Center, we’ve been helping Sacramento homeowners and commercial property owners deal with dry rot for over 30 years. We treat the root of the problem, not just the surface damage.
Our Three-Step Dry Rot Repair Process
- Inspect – We assess your structure to confirm dry rot and determine the extent of the damage.
- Diagnose – We identify the source of moisture and the type of rot, then recommend the best way to stop it.
- Repair – We remove and replace the damaged wood, apply fungicide as needed, and leave your structure sound and secure.
