FAQ

Structural Repair & Dry Rot Remediation
FAQs in Portland, OR

Moisture trapped behind siding, trim, or decks allows fungus to grow in wood fibers. Poor flashing or caulking is the most common cause — especially in Portland’s wet climate.

We surgically remove only the affected wood, reinforce the area, and rebuild to code using treated lumber — saving time and cost while restoring full strength.

WRB stands for Weather-Resistant Barrier. It’s a protective layer behind siding that blocks water while letting the wall breathe — critical to preventing future rot.

Yes. Once rot starts, it spreads through wood fibers and can weaken framing, beams, and load-bearing walls. Quick repair prevents major structural rebuilds.

Yes. Window leaks commonly cause rot in framing, sheathing, and sill areas. We repair the structure and correct flashing/integration details so the leak doesn’t return.
