If you’re wondering, wet rot is not actual rot, but a pesky little fungus that just loves to chow down on wooden structures.
Coniophora Puteana is the most common type, although there are loads of other subspecies out there too. This mouldy menace feeds on the moisture and nutrients within the wood, and can totally ruin plaster, wallpaper, and carpets by causing serious deterioration.
Wet rot spreads by munching through the wood, then releasing spores into the air to find new, damp surfaces to settle on. It's not quite as disastrous as dry rot, but it still needs to be dealt with ASAP as it could affect the structural integrity of your property.
In Leeds, just like many other places, wet rot is a real concern thanks to the city's high levels of rainfall and humidity. This pesky fungal attack thrives in damp environments, and the climate in Leeds is just perfect for it to take hold.
Located in the north of England, Leeds boasts a moderate marine climate with pleasantly cool temperatures and a pretty hefty amount of yearly rainfall. In fact, the average yearly precipitation in Leeds clocks in at a whopping 700-800 millimetres - way more than the national average.
When you combine this abundance of rain with the city's generally high humidity levels, it creates the perfect breeding ground for fungi and other microorganisms that are responsible for wet rot. Given the nature of the city's buildings and its environment, wet rot can be a serious issue in this area. Property owners and managers must take care to prevent the growth of wet rot by ensuring adequate ventilation and drainage, treating wood with preservatives, and tackling any moisture problems as soon as they arise.
To eradicate the fungus responsible for the wet rot, we apply a fungicidal treatment to the affected wood. If necessary, we can also replace any damaged wood with pre-treated timber.
In severe cases, wet rot can compromise a building's structural integrity. Our team of experts can carry out necessary repairs to ensure the safety and stability of the building.
To prevent the wet rot from returning, it's important to address any underlying moisture issues, such as leaks or poor ventilation. This may involve fixing the moisture source, improving ventilation, or installing a damp-proof course.
After treating the wet rot, it's important to take steps to prevent it from recurring. This may include regular maintenance and checks, as well as applying preservatives to protect the wood from fungal growth.
