How long does it take pressure-treated wood to rot?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-it-takes-wood-to-rot.htm">How long it takes wood to rot</a> can range from as little as a few weeks in poor conditions to as long as 40 years if properly maintained. Protecting pressure-treated wood against moisture is the best way to prevent rot—wood exposed to water for extended periods of time is more prone to rot. Wood used outdoors on decks and porches is more likely to rot due to the elements, so re-seal pressure-treated wood every two to three years to maximize protection.</p></div>

How do I know if I need gutter repairs?

• <div><p>There are a handful of things you can look for to determine if you need to pay for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gutter-repair-and-replacement-tips.htm">gutter repairs</a>, including the following:</p><ul><li><p>Water leaking from the underside of your gutters during rainfall</p></li><li><p>Visible gaps between your gutters and your roof</p></li><li><p>Frequent issues with gutters overflowing or holding standing water</p></li><li><p>Gutters that sag or pull away from the house</p></li><li><p>Water damage to soffits, fascia boards, or other building materials</p></li><li><p>Mold growth on your exterior walls</p></li><li><p>Soil erosion underneath your roof overhang</p></li><li><p>Foundation leaks or inward bowing of foundation walls</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Should pressure-treated wood be green?

• <div><p>Yes, pressure-treated wood can occasionally turn green due to certain preservatives, such as copper-based chemicals, used during the treatment process. These chemicals react with the wood, creating a greenish tint. The good news? It's temporary, and the color will fade over time. Staining or painting can also help hide any unwanted hues.</p></div>

Q: Does insurance cover wood rot?

• <div><p>Wood rot is not normally covered by insurance except in rare cases when it results from a covered event like a burst pipe. Wood rot is categorized as gradual, preventable damage, so most insurance policies won&rsquo;t pay for claims to repair wood rot damage. Check your policy to find out if wood rot is covered before making a claim. </p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover rotting wood?

• <div><p>Most homeowners insurance policies won&rsquo;t pay for the removal of dead, rotting trees. That&rsquo;s because insurance is intended to protect you from sudden, unexpected accidents. So if a tree is sick, dying, neglected, or rotten but is still standing and hasn&rsquo;t caused any property damage, it&rsquo;s unlikely your insurance will cover the cost to have it removed. </p></div>

I was calling all furniture stores in my area trying to find all wood bedroom furniture. The lady who answered the phone was very pleasant and answered my questions. We did not go to the store because we found what we wanted at another store before we got to this one.
