Wood Rot or Dry Rot
Many homeowners are familiar with wood damage
caused by rot. They see it in different parts of houses such as in
garage, walls, ceilings, doors, kitchens, window casings and other wood used
in their houses, and other buildings. But they don't have much idea of how
easy wood rotting away can suck the strength out of their homes and ruins
their houses and even their health..., in part, because rot produces different types of molds
that can get into your body and infest it and unconsciously ruin your
health..
Once rot begins in wood it spreads out
through threadlike filament called hyphae
which secrets
enzymes that digs into the wood. And so it is difficult to cure completely
-- it is like a cancer.
Digging out the rotted wood will still leave spores and water in the
sound wood. After you fill in the cavity with something like epoxy, the rot
continues to flourish underneath. Products promoted to make rotted wood
sound and stop rot penetrate only until they meet water, with which they do
not mix. Under the solid repair rotting goes on. Most commercial products
sold to treat dry rot
or to prevent rot are
completely ineffective against established rot in wet wood because they are
dissolved in petroleum solvents and oil and water do not mix. And the best
way to be protected against rot and
molds
which causes wood rots
is to prevent them from starting and/or spreading in the first place.
