What is wet rot?

Affecting many properties around the UK, wet rot is timber that decays naturally due to the existence of high moisture levels. Wet rot refers to a variety of fungal species causing wood rot, with the most common being ‘cellar fungus’. Timber affected by wet rot can appear soft and spongy, appear darker or lighter than other timber, make paint appear flakey and have an unusual damp or musty odour.
