What is Dry Rot?
Dry Rot is a wood destroying fungus, Serpula lacrymans. The name ‘dry rot’ might be regarded rather inappropriate since like all wood destroying fungi it needs water for germination, growth and survival. It's water/dampness which is the basic need of all wood destroying fungi plus a food source -wood! Without wood, the fungus ceases to grow and dies.

Dry Rot or Wet Rot?
How can you distinguish between Dry Rot or Wet rot? in Liverpool They both affect timber and cause aggressive fungal decay. The key difference between them is that Dry Rot (Serpula Lacrymans) needs much less moisture to germinate and grow than wet rot does. Wet rot occurs more frequently and is less serious. Wet rot decay is also confined to areas where the timber has become damp and remains damp, whereas dry rot can spread over a larger area is it is able to travel through the capillaries between the stone/brick and the mortar joints to affect neighbouring areas. Only with an inspection from qualified expert is it possible to tell which rot it is.
