Timber Treatment
Fungal Decay
The most common fungal decay problems are Wet and Dry Rots and correct diagnosis is essential.
- True Dry Rot (Serpula lacrymans) is the more aggressive fungus and failure to identify and effectively treat can result in extensive damage.
- Wet Rot (porias - various)
Less aggressive however requires attention and identification of the source of moisture to enable an effective treatment.
Infestation
The most widely known wood boring insect is commonly known as Woodworm.
Wood boring insect attack can cause structural damage to properties if left untreated and the most common are as follows:-
- Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum)
- Powder Post Beetle (Bostrychidae)
- Wood Boring Weevil (Euophryum confine)
All beetles have different characteristics and require specific treatments.
As with all aspects of timber treatments correct diagnosis / identification is essential to ensure the appropriate specification is prepared and expertly carried out. Misidentification will result in unnecessary treatment and expense.
