Wood rot poses a threat regardless of where you live, but here in the Northeast it’s particularly problematic. Elevated moisture levels and our often wild winter weather leave your surfaces under tremendous strain, making rot inevitable if you don’t proactively protect against it.
Where Should You Check for Wood Rot?
Here are a few key places to routinely check:
- Window sills
- Thresholds
- Decks
- Trim and moulding around windows
- Eaves
- Wood siding
- Anywhere wood meets ground, or makes contact with foliage (we recommend keeping landscaping trimmed back from your siding, porch, and/or deck structure)
Wood rot isn’t always obvious, making a knowledgeable inspection key. Identifying and catching the problem early is the best way to protect your home and your budget.
