Cheshire Damp provides expert wet rot treatment services in Wirral and Chester, helping homeowners and businesses protect their properties from timber decay caused by excess moisture. Wet rot occurs when wood is exposed to prolonged dampness, leading to softening, cracking, and structural weakness. If left untreated, it can affect floorboards, joists, window frames, and other wooden structures, potentially causing serious damage over time.

Our team specialises in identifying the source of wet rot and implementing effective solutions to stop its progression. Unlike dry rot, wet rot remains confined to areas with a continuous moisture source, making it essential to address both the fungal decay and the underlying damp problem. We conduct thorough inspections to locate the cause, whether from leaking pipes, rising damp, poor ventilation, or penetrating moisture, before carrying out targeted repairs.

Treatment begins with eliminating the moisture source to prevent further deterioration. Affected timbers are assessed, with severely damaged sections removed and replaced using high-quality materials. Any remaining wood is treated with industry-approved preservatives to protect against future rot and fungal growth. We also recommend preventative measures, such as improved ventilation and damp-proofing, to safeguard your property in the long term.

With years of experience serving Wirral and Chester, Cheshire Damp is trusted for delivering high-quality damp and timber treatments.
