deck, patio, wall or bathroom. If it needs to be repaired or
replaced, we can do it. Ask your inspector at the time of
inspection concerning special orders. Some items must be
special ordered and require time. Call early to avoid delays
during repairs. If items are ordered early enough they can
be installed at the time of the needed repairs without any
delays.
WOOD DESTROYING FUNGUS -
This fungus is an important cause of damage to wood
structures. Fungi attack wood, which is composed of
cellulose, breaking it down to starches and then to
sugar molecules. Fungus is usually a result of a
moisture condition and is often found in the eaves,
rafters, patio covers, decks, and walls around stall
showers and subflooring. Wood fungus leads to fungus
decay, commonly known as "dry rot" or "wood decay."
Fungi need three things to live: Air, Food source
(sugars and starches inside wood), and moisture.
Take any one of the three away and the fungus will
die. Damaged wood is soft and spongy and crumbles
easily. Fungus, like a wood cancer, must be cut out
or it will spread. It is controlled by removing and
replacing infected wood . In some light instances
the wood can be scraped and then treated with a
fungicide or wood sealer, preservative.
