how to spot
dry rot damage
Recognizing dry rot early is essential to preventing extensive structural damage. Common signs of dry rot include:
- Discoloration: Wood may appear darker and brittle or develop a cracked, shrunken appearance.
- Surface Growth: In dry conditions, you might notice a gray, yellow, or purple fungal growth; in humid conditions, a fluffy, white mycelium (fungus) may form.
- Rust-Colored Spores: Look for orange or rust-colored spore dust around affected wood surfaces.
- Distinct Odor: Dry rot often emits a musty, damp smell, which can be a strong indicator of hidden decay.
If you observe any of these signs, it’s crucial to take action immediately to prevent further structural deterioration.

the experts
While dry rot can sometimes be easy to identify, pinpointing the source of the moisture that allows the fungus to thrive can be challenging. Since dry rot primarily affects damp wood, moisture can originate from several sources within or around your home, including:
- Leaks in roofing, plumbing, or siding
- Poor ventilation in attics, crawl spaces, and basements
- Groundwater seepage and drainage issues
- Improper sealing of windows and doors
Our trained professionals at Hometown Exterior Designs have the expertise to locate the root cause of moisture infiltration, eliminate the fungal growth, and provide solutions to prevent its return.
