Dry Rot & Structural Repairs
Dry rot is more than a cosmetic wood issue—it’s a serious structural concern that can weaken your home from the inside out.

As a trusted foundation and structural repair company serving Oregon homeowners, we focus on lasting results—not temporary fixes.
What Is Dry Rot and Structural Damage?
Dry rot occurs when wood-decay fungi break down wood fibers due to excess moisture and limited airflow. Despite the name, dry rot begins with moisture intrusion caused by leaks, poor drainage, or inadequate ventilation.
Over time, affected wood becomes soft, brittle, or cracked and can no longer support structural loads. When dry rot spreads, it can compromise surrounding framing and lead to serious structural failures. Effective dry rot and structural repair goes beyond surface treatment, it requires locating moisture sources, removing damaged wood, and reinforcing affected structural systems to restore strength and stability.
