Protect Your Home: The Importance of Addressing Timber Rot

In Queensland, timber flooring is a popular choice for its natural appeal, ease of maintenance, and cooling properties during the summer. However, with meteorologists predicting another potential La Niña this season, Australians may face wetter and cooler conditions once again. This would mark the fourth La Niña in five years and underscores the importance of inspecting your home for signs of timber rot.

Timber rot is more than just an aesthetic issue. Left unchecked, it can lead to severe structural damage and pose significant health and safety risks. Key areas to inspect include decks, trim, siding, window sills, fences, and railings.

Signs of Timber Rot to Watch For:
* Visible damage to exteriors like siding, roofing, window frames, and door frames.
* Wood deterioration, including discoloration, shrinking, cracks, and splintering.
* Fungal growth or the presence of spores.
* A musty odor in affected areas.
* Peeling paint or other finishing issues.
* Signs of excess moisture.

If identified early, timber rot can often be repaired quickly and affordably, avoiding the need for full replacements.
