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>

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 replace only one section of a gutter?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible to replace only one section of a gutter, and it&rsquo;s a common repair. Often, a tree limb will damage a gutter on one side of the house, or constant weather will cause early corrosion. Gutters are often joined together with couplings that are easy to remove and swap out. For this reason, some homeowners will purchase extra gutters when they install them to have spare sections to use for replacement later.</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: Should I hire a professional to fix my gutters?

• <div><p>Outside of regular maintenance, most gutter repairs are best left to the pros. Most gutter projects require basic ladder safety and (sometimes) getting on top of your roof. Without the proper equipment (or if you generally get a little nervous with heights), you could put yourself at risk of serious injury. On top of that, improperly repaired gutters could result in longer term damage that requires a full replacement.</p></div>
