If proper weather protection measures are taken during original construction or remodeling, a sealing maintenance program is relatively painless and reasonable in cost. When ignored, omitted or overlooked, dry rot becomes a homeowner's worst nightmare.

What is dry rot? Dry rot is crumbling wood caused by a fungus, where the wood becomes crumbly and powdery, losing all of its structural integrity. Unless the avenue of moisture intrusion is sealed off and the infested wood and water concentration removed, the deterioration continues.

How do I know if my home needs moisture protection? The extent of the damage caused by moisture intrusion cannot be readily assessed without actually opening and thoroughly inspecting the interior structural condition of the concerned walls, decks or roof systems.
