Dry Rot Inspection Services

A detailed inspection is the first step in addressing dry rot. At CiTi Termite Control, we examine both visible and hidden areas, including attics, basements, crawl spaces, and structural framing. Our licensed inspectors identify affected wood, assess the extent of damage, and outline practical repair options.

We also pinpoint areas at risk for future decay, such as spots prone to moisture buildup, so you can take steps to prevent additional damage. Early detection saves time, effort, and potential repair costs.

Comprehensive Dry Rot Repair Solutions

Once dry rot is confirmed, repairs involve removing damaged wood and treating surrounding areas to prevent further decay.

Our repair process includes:

  1. Careful removal. We remove affected wood without disrupting unaffected areas, preserving as much original structure as possible.
  2. Treatment. Treated wood or sealants are applied to prevent fungal regrowth.
  3. Replacement and reinforcement. Missing or weakened wood is replaced, and structural elements are reinforced where necessary.

This approach balances safety, durability, and efficiency for residential and commercial properties in the Bay Area. Our team communicates with every step, so property owners understand what is being done and why each action matters.

How Dry Rot Can Impact Your Home or Business

Dry rot is a type of wood decay caused by fungi that thrives in damp, poorly ventilated areas. Unlike termites, which eat wood, dry rot fungi break down the wood fibers, leaving it brittle and weakened. Even small areas of rot can compromise the structural integrity of floors, walls, and support beams.

Signs of dry rot include:

  • Wood that feels spongy, soft, or crumbly
  • Darkened or discolored patches on surfaces
  • Shrinking, cracking, or splitting wood
  • A distinct musty odor in affected areas

In San Jose’s climate, periods of humidity and older building materials can make homes and commercial buildings more susceptible. Understanding these warning signs early allows for more straightforward repairs and less extensive damage.
