What Is Dry Rot?

Dry rot is a type of wood decay caused by excess moisture and fungal growth. It weakens wood from the inside out, often going unnoticed until significant damage has occurred.

Common areas affected include:

* Window frames
* Fascia boards
* Decks and patios
* Siding and trim
* Roof eaves

If left untreated, dry rot can spread and lead to costly structural repairs.

Why Dry Rot Is Common in Fair Oaks

Fair Oaks properties often deal with:

* Heavy tree coverage trapping moisture
* Limited sunlight slowing drying time
* Older siding, trim, and framing materials
* Irrigation systems adding consistent moisture

These conditions allow wood to stay damp longer, increasing the risk of rot.
