Wet rot can often go unnoticed for a while, especially in hidden areas like wall cavities or behind furniture. The following are common signs that your property may be affected by wet rot:
If you press on a wooden surface and it feels soft or spongy, it’s likely that wet rot has begun to affect the timber.
Wet rot often causes timber to darken or become stained. This can be especially noticeable around window frames or door frames.
A musty or damp smell in the affected area is a sign that wet rot is present, as the fungus gives off a distinctive odour.
As wet rot progresses, it causes the wood to crack and become brittle. If you notice any cracking in timber, it could be a sign of wet rot.
Persistent dampness around timber is a key indicator of wet rot. Areas with poor ventilation or water ingress are particularly vulnerable.
