For most of us, our home is our biggest investment. Maintenance on a home need not be expensive, but if there is no upkeep at all on a property, it could cost you a bundle! Damage to the timbers of your home could also put you and your family in danger, as structural supports can collapse if weakened enough.

The areas most easily affected are those where wood can accidentally get permanently damp or wet. This could be caused in several ways, even insignificant factors such as condensation or free flowing air can contribute.

Some of the most common causes are: Loose roof tiles will allow water to seep into your roof eaves, where it may be soaked up by the wood, yet not actually drip into your house. It is also advisable to check for leaks behind your washing machine, and around all your plumbing.

Broken down pipes may come disconnected and ineffective. For instance: if any of your down pipes leading from the gutter have come loose, water could be seeping under your home and into the foundations.

For instance, it seems a small matter when the gutter fills up with leaves and overflows into your yard, but it could spell disaster for your home. Many of us have no ladder and it is a long way up to the roof, and it seems a harmless problem.

But, the longer you leave free flowing water around your house, the more chance you have of developing wet rot in your home. Wet rot must be dealt with as it will completely sap the strength of the lumber. It could also lead to dry rot, which is far harder to eradicate. There are reported cases of dry rot, where the client has not realized there is any problem until their foot goes through the floor!

However, it does take a long time for the wood that is exposed to damp or water to actually become irreparable. Any wood that has a moisture content of less than 20% will not attract fungus or rot. And if it goes over this balance and does attract rot, then it may take many months to actually become significant. This is why maintenance, in the form of regular checks, is so important.

Wet rot is not always cured by simply drying out the affected wood, although this is a good first step! The second step is to find out where the source of the water is coming from. If your wood looks brownish, it may be time to get expert help.

Wet rot can be best removed by cutting away the timbers affected and joining new timbers in. However, if it goes to dry rot, a ‘safety perimeter’ must also be cut away as dry rot is a breeding ground for fungus, spores etc.

Having a new floor or roof is a major financial outlay (as well as a huge inconvenience). It can be avoided by a regular annual check for dampness and leakages. This small outlay is not a waste of money, it may add up to only 1% of the cash you will have to find to repair wet or dry rot.
