• Damp, musty odour.

All affected timbers need to be replaced with pre-treated timber, and any nearby timbers at risk should be treated.
As dry rot has the potential to travel quickly and cause severe damage, it must be dealt with by a specialist.
If the source of the dampness is corrected, and the timber is allowed to dry out completely, dry rot can eventually be controlled, but this can take a long time and is often not practical.
