Tacoma's Expert Dry Rot Repair & Remediation Service
The historic character and charm of Tacoma’s homes are one of the city’s greatest assets. However, the combination of older construction and the persistent moisture of the Puget Sound climate creates a serious risk for dry rot. This destructive fungus can compromise the safety and value of your property, often spreading undetected within your home’s structure. At Seattle Trim Repair, we are Tacoma’s certified specialists in the detection, eradication, and professional repair of dry rot, providing lasting solutions to protect your home.
Why Dry Rot is a Serious Concern for Tacoma Properties
- The Climate Factor: Our damp winters and marine air create the ideal high-humidity, low-sunlight environment for the Serpula lacrymans fungus to thrive.
- The Architectural Factor: The beautiful, historic homes in neighborhoods like the North End and the Stadium District often have complex wooden structures, older foundations, and classic porches that, without perfect maintenance, can develop vulnerabilities to moisture intrusion.
Common places we find dry rot in Tacoma homes include:
- Dark, damp basements and crawl spaces with inadequate ventilation.
- The posts, framing, and floorboards of classic front porches.
- Rooflines and attics where small leaks have gone unnoticed.
- The critical sill plate where the home’s wood frame rests on the foundation.
