Dryrot is a generic term for a variety of wood fungi which cause mildew, mold, staining and decaying in wood. In order for dryrot to develop, it requires a certain combination of moisture and heat and air. If the conditions are right, it can occur before you can visually detect it, sometimes within months. Infected wood loses its structural integrity. Damaged wood must be totally replaced or the fungi, which are living organisms, will continue to spread and cause more damage. Dryrot can also attract pests such as termites, which will only compound the problem. Repairing dryrot cannot be postponed, because the damage and costs will only increase dramatically.
