Your Certified Experts for Dry Rot Repair in Seattle
In Seattle’s damp, rainy climate, dry rot isn’t just a possibility; it’s a persistent threat to every homeowner. This destructive fungus thrives in the exact conditions our city is known for, silently turning strong, structural wood into a brittle, worthless mess. At Seattle Trim Repair, we are specialists in the complete remediation of dry rot. We don’t just patch the damage—we eradicate the fungus and restore the structural integrity of your Seattle home.
The Dangers of Dry Rot in Seattle Homes
From Capitol Hill bungalows to West Seattle view homes, no property is immune. The constant moisture can lead to hidden decay in the most critical parts of your house:
- Crawl Spaces & Basements: Poor ventilation in these areas creates a perfect breeding ground for rot in your floor joists and support posts.
- Window and Door Frames: Failed seals allow rainwater to seep in, rotting frames and the underlying wall structure.
- Decks and Porches: Especially where the deck attaches to the main house (the ledger board), creating a major structural hazard.
- Attics & Rooflines: Leaks from aging roofs or clogged gutters can saturate rafters and sheathing, leading to widespread damage.
If you suspect you have a rot problem, it’s critical to act fast. An untreated dry rot infestation can spread quickly, leading to thousands in structural repairs.
