Fungus is a plant that lacks chloroplasts — the part that lets other plants convert sunlight into energy. Because it can't make its own food, fungus grows by consuming the plants and wood on which it lives. It comes in a variety of forms.
Fungus control consists of inspecting structures for fungus damage and for conditions that may lead to or already have led to infestation, correcting those conditions, and carrying out the necessary repairs. The most important part is inspecting accessible and visible wood members and reporting on and repairing infestation and damage where present.
Dry rot is the main cause of damage in wooden structures and needs moisture to survive and flourish. If there isn't sufficient moisture, any type of fungus recedes and the existing damage stops. So we identify the dry rot areas and then eliminate the moisture that's feeding it — which is the difference between a repair and a recurring bill.
Wood surface fungus can attack floor boards and support beams and cause havoc with your home's structure. All our wood repairs are completed caulked, sealed and painted using a similar color of matched paint.
