Anaheim Hills Roof Inspector for Residents
First of all, understand Dry Rot…
Termite and Dry rot look very similar. Yet, with a closer inspection, you can see and feel the difference. With dry rot, the wood is rough and flakes apart. When it’s termite damage, it’s smooth and dry. Take a screwdriver and press it into the wood, you can see and flake off pieces. Sometimes it will completely penetrate the board. This is a good way for you to see the difference between two similar areas of damage.
Moisture!
The moisture in our coastal area can also cause the growth of fungus on your roof, eaves, fascia boards and beams. Which in turn, can also be responsible for more damage. An ongoing roof leak will create moisture. Contributing to fungus growth causing even more damage. When this happens, it may be time to call a professional roofing contractor to do an inspection, like Atkins Roofing in South Orange County.
