Signs of Dry Rot and Wet Rot
If you suspect timber decay, acting early can save time and cost and help limit the scale of repairs. Dry rot can be difficult to spot, but there are some common indicators you can look out for:
- Cracking or shrinking timber
- A damp, musty smell
- Discoloured or softened wood
- Fungal growth or spore dust
- Warped floors or weakened joinery
If you notice any of these, a professional inspection will confirm whether dry rot or wet rot is present. Effective damp & dry rot control in Yeovil starts with understanding the root cause. We don’t just treat the symptoms—we resolve the underlying moisture problem.
Dry Rot Specialists in Yeovil
Dry rot is not just a surface issue, it requires a thorough, professional response. Once it’s started to grow in your property, it will continue to spread through timber and over other surfaces in search of moisture to feed on. Our team identifies the source of moisture, the extent of fungal growth, and the condition of surrounding timbers before recommending treatment.
We focus on eliminating the cause as well as the damage, addressing wider damp problems and replacing damaged timber where needed. This ensures your property is protected long after the work is complete.
Wet Rot Treatment in Yeovil
Wet rot is more localised than dry rot, but can still cause serious damage if ignored. It typically affects timber exposed to persistent moisture, such as joists, floorboards, and roof timbers. It’s often caused by structural damage, such as leaky pipes or damaged gutters, but will clear up when the damp problem has been resolved.
Our wet rot treatment in Yeovil addresses both the decay and the conditions allowing it to develop. This helps prevent repeat issues and protects the integrity of your home.
Whilst we often have same-week availability in Yeovil, it can be dependant on demand. Call 01935 608 137 to speak to us and find the earliest survey appointment that works for you.

Dry rot is a form of fungal decay that can spread through timber and across masonry. It can cause significant structural damage if not treated promptly, which is why early intervention is important.
Dry rot can spread beyond the original source of moisture and travel through a property, while wet rot stays confined to damp areas. Both require treatment, but dry rot is typically more aggressive.
