Has Wet Weather Left Your Property Vulnerable to Wet Rot ?

- by Avery James

You may associate timber rot, dry or wet, with the cool air, condensation and dampness that exists in the colder months, but this is only partly correct; it is wise to be on the alert during every season to the possibility of a wet rot issue presenting itself.

Wet Weather Left Your Property Vulnerable

When a 50% moisture level is present, often due to poor ventilation, a plumbing issue, blocked guttering, a leaking roof, window or door, even in the middle of a hot summer’s day, a property’s timber can be under attack. Given the right conditions the airborne spores which create wet rot can embed and fruit as they spread. This potentially causes serious and sometimes structural risks.

Wet rot is also known as cellar fungus, in Latin, Coniophora Puteana; fungal growth, discoloured, weak and damp spongy timber accompanied by a musty smell are common signs.

Being proactive and checking for possible blockages and repairs is a key way to protect the timber, and if you find fungi, please don’t ignore it.

Always Contact Timber Specialists

If you suspect a wet rot problem, please call in proven experts at the earliest opportunity.

Wet rot treatment must be administered by timber specialists, like the team at the renowned Thames Valley Timber Treatment, and a full initial survey carried out to establish whether it is wet rot or another issue, and its severity.

Please do not guess or use DIY treatments, these can prove less effective, in the worst cases, a waste of time and money. It’s likely that a maintenance, insurance or mortgage agreement stipulates that only accredited professionals are acceptable when treating wet rot.

You may not welcome the fee for professional wet rot treatments, but timber specialists have the qualifications, experience, under license treatments and partnerships with industry treatment manufacturers which secure their …

They Delivered the Best Shutters

- by Avery James

I knew that I wanted new shutters, but I was not sure where to get them at. One of the national home improvement stores was having a sale on them, but I was not convinced that they were the best option for me. It concerned me that they said they could have them installed in less than a week’s time, because that just made me suspect they were not going to use quality materials, favoring a quick turnaround instead. A friend suggested I look at plantation shutters, a local family owned company that provides quality shutters, and I am so glad that she did.

When I went to their website, I first looked at the different types of shutters they had. I was immediately impressed with what I saw, and I knew that I wanted to know more about this company. I looked at their history, and I also looked at their FAQ page. I did both of these things because this was a major purchase and I wanted to make sure that everything was on the level before proceeding with a company I had never dealt with before.…
