Woodworm/Rot
This fungus causes decay primarily under conditions of restricted ventilation, and high humidity, the optimum moisture content for decay being 30-40% moisture content. Dry Rot can remain active in timber down to 20% moisture content and can attack dry timber. The fungus can grow throughout the fabric of a building if conditions are suitable. It can penetrate through brickwork and masonry, and behind plaster, decaying any timber in its path. Decaying timber develops 'cuboidal' cracking, and usually overgrown by masses of grey/white mycelium.
Damp Proofing
Practically all building materials absorb water. This should not and need not be a problem. In reality water is the single most damaging cause of structural decay. It is responsible for more building maintenance costs than any other cause.
Dry Rot, Wet Rot, Rising, Lateral and Penetrating Dampness along with condensation, all arise because of unwanted and unnecessary water in buildings. These conditions create the perfect environment for the growth of fungi and the spread of wood destroying insects.
