Dry Rot Fungus
An unfortunate risk with older homes is the development of dry rot fungus. The fungus eats away at the wood rendering it weak and brittle. This leads to the structural integrity of your home being compromised. As moisture is the genesis of this fungus, fixing leaky pipes or foundation cracks is imperative for prevention. Keeping a dry environment is key to preventative measures as this fungus thrives in cool, dark and high moisture areas.
Identifying Dry Rot Fungus
The first heads up you get with dry rot is the fungal odor. Next, you can identify dry rot by the actual fungus itself or by the damage it causes. If you see a white growth with a rust colored center making a home in your home, take a closer look. They can leave a light dusting in their wake which is useful in alerting a homeowner to their presence. Finally, you can identify dry rot by the damage it causes. If wood in your home is shrunken and cracking, something’s afoot.
