What Causes Dry Rot and How We Repair It

Dry rot is an infection by a particular kind of fungi in moist and poorly ventilated settings in wood. However, once it grows, it grows far faster than you can see outside. It will take up residence not only behind that obvious damage but also in the structural components of your home, where it can threaten your health and safety. Places where it gets wet include behind siding, under windows, around roof penetrations, and leaking plumbing in Aloha.

Dry rot repair is systematic at Keith Green Construction. The process starts with thoroughly evaluating all impacted areas— from the obvious to the hidden. Once the problem areas are identified, we extract any defective elements and restore them utilizing treated timber and rot-resistant material to ensure that the area is properly sealed. We even improve drainage and airflow if necessary to avoid future problems. We do not offer quick fixes that only temporarily remedy the issue, but lasting solutions derived from years of hands-on experience.

Common Areas Where Dry Rot Develops

One of the issues we see a lot with our Aloha clients is dry rot in odd places. Common areas of damage include:

• Leaky windows or doors – framing around them
• Deck Support and Ledger Board
• Roof eaves, and fascia where gutters overflow
• Crawl space squares and joists starving for appropriate ventilation
• Bathroom/kitchen subfloors under slow plumbing leaks

Because dry rot can spread under the radar, our recommendation is to perform inspections when you see signs of cracking paint, spongy wood or warping that you might attribute to eerier causes and unusual odors. Dry rot is not only an expensive problem to repair, but the sooner you address it, the less material will have to be replaced and significant savings on repairs can be made.

Dry Rot Repair FAQs

Q: What are the signs of dry rot I should look for?
A: Soft, spongy wood; cracked or peeling paint; musty smells; discoloration; and visible fungal growth are all indicators. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection as soon as possible.
Q: Can dry rot affect my home’s structural safety?
A: Yes. Dry rot weakens wood from the inside out, which can compromise framing, subfloors, and support beams—leading to serious safety issues if left unchecked.
Q: Will you help find the cause of the moisture that led to the rot?
A: Absolutely. We don’t just repair the damage—we investigate the source. Our team will look for leaks, poor drainage, or ventilation issues contributing to the problem and recommend the best corrective action.
