What is Wood Rot?


Wood rot is a common problem that can affect homes in Virginia Beach. It is caused by fungi that break down the cellulose in wood, making it soft and spongy. Wood rot can occur in any part of your home, but it is most common in areas that are exposed to moisture, such as:

  • The exterior of your home, including siding, trim, and fascia
  • The interior of your home, including window sills, door frames, and baseboards
  • Your roof, including the decking and sheathing
  • Your foundation, including the sill plate and support beams
