When trying to determine if you have dry rot or not, it is best to look at the wood and feel it. If you see dark spots on the wood, it is likely to dry rot. The wood also may feel soft and rubbery, like a sponge.

Dry rot can be removed with a combination of new wood and cutting out the affected areas of wood. A dry rot repair contractor can remove the dry rot and install new wood that matches the original structure. However, in some cases, replacement may be necessary to prevent further damage or prevent further spread of mold or mildew. In extreme cases where moisture damage has occurred, mold or mildew may have been spread in nearby wall cavities or other areas of your home that are hard to see without tearing down parts of your wall or flooring.

If you suspect that you have dry rot on your property, it is important to contact a professional right away. The longer that you wait to have a professional inspect your property and make repairs, the more likely it will be that more damage occurs and more money may need to be spent on repairs.
