In recent years, wood rot has become increasingly prevalent on the Outer Banks. The main cause of wood rot is water. Prolonged and excessive water infiltration creates a perfect environment for certain wood-decaying fungi. Once the rot takes hold, it spreads rapidly. If left alone, it will eventually lead to major structural damage.
We typically begin by probing and removing trim or siding that has rot. We then inspect the plywood sheathing at these locations to determine if the rot has spread. If the rot appears to be widespread, we develop an action plan for the homeowner.
