Wood Stripping Companies questions, answered by experts

Algae doesn't directly contribute to wood rot, like mold, but it does create conditions that can lead to mold over time. Algae retain moisture, which favors fungal growth, potentially leading to wood rot over time. In some cases, significant algae growth can lead to the weakening of wood fibers, ultimately causing rot. Try to keep things as dry as possible. 

The signs of rot depend on the type. Dry rot looks like cube-shaped cracks with a fluffy white, cotton-like texture. Wood with dry rot may also have a strong, musty smell. 

Signs of other types of rot include wood that looks mushy or has black spots. The wood may crumble or give way when touched.

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’s no longer structurally sound.

Most homeowners insurance policies won’t pay for the removal of dead, rotting trees. That’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’t caused any property damage, it’s unlikely your insurance will cover the cost to have it removed. 

How long it takes wood to rot 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.
