Edmonds Rot Repair Services

 Epoxy repairs are among the strongest and most durable methods for patching wood. They are structural and can be used anywhere, often unaffected by water issues that compromise other wood fillers.

 Repairing dry rot typically ranges from $348 to $739 per repair, contingent on the damage severity and project specifics. This cost includes labor for removing and disposing of the damaged wood, fixing structural framing, and surface patching. Major repairs, particularly those involving structural components, can exceed $10,000. Additional costs may involve inspection fees, preventative treatments, and equipment rentals. Addressing rot early is essential to keep costs manageable and prevent further deterioration 

 If left untreated, wet rot can cause timber and other materials to become soft and spongy, potentially leading to structural collapse or other safety hazards. Additionally, wet rot creates an ideal environment for pests such as insects and rodents, which can cause further damage to buildings and potentially spread disease. 

If you want to protect exterior wood without altering its appearance, using a wood oil or wood waterproofing is an excellent option. These treatments provide invisible protection against rot while maintaining the wood's natural look. 

In some extreme situations, it may be necessary to replace the affected timbers. However, in most cases, wet rot can be halted by treating the wood with a fungicide. This treatment involves applying the fungicide during the drying out period to effectively stop the rot.
