Rot

Dry rot wood is caused by a wood-destroying fungus that thrives in dry environments and low humidity. Wet rot is caused by excessive moisture and high humidity, which create an environment where another wood-destroying fungus can grow.

Termites

Termites destroy homes by eating wood and wood products. They can cause severe damage to a home's structure, making it unsafe to live in. You should get your home inspected for termites annually, especially if you live in a warm, moist climate or have an older home.
