Wet Rot Treatment | Eco Tiffin

Home » Services » Wet Rot Treatment

Wet rot can develop where timber remains exposed to elevated moisture levels over prolonged periods. Common causes can include leaks, condensation, defective rainwater goods, plumbing failures or poor ventilation.

Increased rainfall intensity and prolonged wetting periods can contribute towards elevated moisture conditions within timber structures, particularly where defects remain unresolved or drying conditions are poor.

Eco Tiffin investigates both the timber condition and wider building environment before recommendations are made.

Diagnose

Confirm the presence and extent of wet rot by assessing moisture sources, timber condition, and levels of decay within affected structural and non-structural elements.

Address the moisture ingress causing the decay and determine whether timber can be retained, repaired, or requires replacement.

Eliminate active wet rot, restore affected timbers, and reduce future risk through improved moisture control and ventilation.

A Smooth and Informative Pre-Purchase Survey

I have recently had a pre-purchase survey carried out by Eco Tiffin Ltd. Firstly, the service was so quick and efficient and dealt with highly professionally and without much involvement from me. I needed them to organise key collection and drop-off from the estate agents. The survey was carried out, and the report that followed was very informative and exactly what we needed to know about the damp and timbers in the property. Altogether, very impressed and will definitely recommend Eco Tiffin to any prospective buyers. Very friendly team.

A Warmer, Healthier and More Comfortable Home

Since Eco Tiffin carried out our insulation and ventilation improvements, we have noticed a huge difference. Our washing now dries much quicker indoors, and our home stays at a comfortable temperature all year round. The house feels warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and overall much more comfortable to live in.
