Q: Does wood rot impact other parts of the home?

• <div><p>Yes, any part of the home where wood meets water is susceptible to wood rot. This includes underneath sinks, decks, windowsills, window frames, basements, attics, and eaves, among other locations. Conduct regular inspections of these areas to spot the beginning stages of wood rot. Even the wood under roof shingles can rot and affect other areas.</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>

Q: Can you stop wood rot once it starts?

• <div><p>You can stop wood rot in its early stages by fixing the moisture problem that led to it, treating the wood with a fungicide, filling weak spots with an epoxy wood filler, and sealing the wood against future moisture. Depending on the extent of the damage, already rotted wood may need to be replaced if it&rsquo;s no longer structurally sound.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between wood epoxy and wood filler?

• <div><p>Wood epoxy is used to fill larger areas of damaged wood and has stronger adhesion than wood filler. Epoxy dries to a hard, waterproof finish and can be harder to sand than filler. Wood filler stays flexible for longer than epoxy, and is used for smaller areas of damage. Both are available in paintable options, although it&rsquo;s easier to stain filler than epoxy.</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>
