What Causes Wood Rot in the First Place?

That unsightly wood rot is caused by the infiltration of moisture into wood surfaces. This creates an perfect storm for fungal growth and decay. Over time, continuous exposure to moisture from things like rain, leaks, or Kansas City's high humidity, weakens the wood's natural defenses.


As a result, your wood siding then becomes more susceptible to rot. In addition to moisture, fungi and insects can make your wood rot problem even worse. Bugs and fungi feed on the cellulose within the wood, which breaks down its structural integrity and leads to decay. As this spreads throughout the wood, you'll start to see visible signs of deterioration on your home, including softening, discoloration, and even the growth of mold or mildew.


It's important to address the moisture issues and eliminate the sources of water to prevent wood rot from occurring and spreading to other areas of your home.

Wood Rot Frequently Asked Questions

Click the question to learn more.

  • What is wood rot?

    Wood rot is a type of decay caused by fungi. It attacks the cellulose and lignin components of wood, breaking down its structural integrity and causing it to become soft, crumbly, and weak. 

  • What happens when wood rot goes untreated?

    Left untreated, wood rot can cause serious structural damage to a building or other wooden structures. Over time, the decay process weakens and rots away wooden beams and joists, leading to sagging floors, cracked walls, doors that won't close properly, and even roof collapse in extreme cases. 


    The presence of wood-destroying fungus also encourages the growth of other organisms like termites, carpenter ants and wood-boring beetles. 

  • Where is wood rot commonly found?

    Areas around sinks and tubs are especially vulnerable due to the increased risk of dampness or water damage. It's also important to check for wood rot around windows and doors, as these areas are often exposed to the elements. 

  • How to fix a rot problem?

    With something as serious as wood rot, it will require professional attention. Cougar Painting will treat and replace every infected area to make sure the rot will not return.
