Dry Rot
Dry rot is the most serious type of timber decay in buildings because it can cause rot at a lower moisture content than wet rot fungi and it has the ability to grow through damp masonry and brickwork, and behind plaster. It can therefore spread rapidly through a building, making treatment more complicated than with other types of rot.
Wet Rot
Wet rot is a general term used to describe the majority of fungal species responsible for timber decay. All wet rot fungi require higher moisture contents than the dry rot fungus, Serpula lacrymans and are much more common. However, they do not have the same ability to spread through a building so are much easier and less expensive to eradicate.
Woodworm
Woodworm is known as a "wood-boring infestation." It can attack hard or soft woods and can cause extensive damage if not treated. There are several types of woodworm,including the common furniture beetle and wood-boring weevils, these are common in Scotland.
