Rotten Wood Replacement Gwinnett County

Wood rots due to water intrusion in your home, an absence of light, lack of fresh air circulation and heat. Once penetrated by water, the wood parts or your home become susceptible to mold and mildew. You should immediately contact a licensed contractor who specializes in home repair services to properly evaluate any damages.

Once thoroughly entrenched in your wood, mold will begin to spread, and basically, feed on your wood, causing more and more rot as time goes on without repair. To stop the spread of this unhealthy mold, you not only need to clean up the mess but attack the problem of water intrusion at its core. Otherwise, your rotten wood problem will surface over and over again anytime heat and these areas come into contact with one another.

THE SOLUTION

The first step to solving a rotten wood problem is to determine the source of water intrusion into your home. Once that is accomplished, you must tightly seal the area by either repairing the wood or replacing it. Unless the rotted wood is confined to a very small area, replacement is probably the fix you want to consider.

Replacing damaged or rotten wood, a sealant such as epoxy should be applied to the surface, particularly the edges of the replacement piece you plan to install. Epoxy is as close to water-proof as you’ll get in terms of sealants and also deters mold growth, making it an ideal choice of sealant for any rotten wood replacement project.

A combination punch of epoxy and wood replacement should stop water intrusion and continued mold growth in its tracks. And, while solid wood can be properly repaired by isolating and repairing the damaged area, softer woods and plywood will require the more drastic measure of replacement of wood to assure that future damage doesn’t occur.
