What Causes Wood Rot?

Rot happens when moisture gets into wood and stays there.

  • Water intrusion from leaks or poor flashing

    Roof leaks, window leaks, and bad caulking let water in

  • Ground contact or splashback

    Wood too close to soil or mulch stays wet

  • Poor ventilation in crawl spaces or attics

    Trapped humidity creates perfect conditions for rot

  • Peeling paint or failed sealant

    Exposed wood absorbs moisture from rain and humidity

Signs It's Getting Worse

Rot spreads fast. Catch it early or pay for bigger repairs later.
