Causes and Effects of Rotten Wood

Wood rot develops when excess moisture allows mold, mildew, and wood-decaying fungi to thrive. Termite infestations can also contribute to wood decay. Common sources of moisture include leaks, poor drainage, inadequate ventilation, and high humidity in crawlspaces. Addressing wood rot promptly is crucial to maintain your home’s safety and structural integrity. If left untreated, rotted wood can:

  • Weaken your home’s structural framework
  • Cause sagging or uneven floors, soft spots, and a compromised foundation
  • Lead to misaligned or sticking doors and windows due to shifting structures
  • Attract pests such as termites and carpenter ants
  • Result in increasingly costly repairs as damage spreads over time
  • Pose serious safety risks to your family

Frequently Asked Questions on Rotten Wood Repair

What causes wood rot in a crawl space?
Wood rot is primarily caused by excessive moisture, which allows mold, mildew, and fungi to grow. Common sources of this moisture include poor ventilation, leaks, and high humidity. Our team inspects your crawl space to identify and address the specific cause of the rot.
How can I tell if I have rotten wood in my crawl space?
Signs of rotten wood include soft or spongy floors, sagging or uneven surfaces, and a musty odor. If you've noticed any of these issues, it's best to have a professional inspection. Our experts are trained to spot the signs of decay and assess the extent of the damage.
Can you just fix the rotted wood, or do you address the moisture problem too?
We do both. Our approach isn't just to repair the damage but also to prevent it from happening again. Our team will replace the decayed wood and recommend solutions like vapor barriers, encapsulation, and improved drainage to eliminate the moisture source.
Is it really that important to fix rotten wood right away?
