Dry Rot & Termite Damage Repair For Your Pasadena Home

Do you know that we specialize in accessing and repairing wood rot?

It can be a serious issue that can be quite expensive if wood replacement is necessary. We have found that if you discover dry rot damage in the early stages, wood replacement can be avoided and wood can be repaired using wood epoxy.

What is wood rot?

Wood rot occurs over time and traditionally is due to water and sun damage in unprotected wood. We typically find it in areas that are exposed outdoors that have not been properly sealed and painted… or might have come in contact with too much moisture from rain or sprinklers.

How do we find it?

We typically discover wood rot when we are preparing for a paint job. During our prep process, we scrape and sand to remove all loose material. Many times if we find wood rot, it is worse because it’s bigger and deeper than what the eye can see.

How do we evaluate what to do?

We have to first look at the location of the damage and determine if the wood is important to the structure. If the wood is a beam or part of the engineering we may recommend replacement over patching.

If the damage is only aesthetically an issue we typically can fix it with our three-stage process which includes removal, repair, and repaint.

Fixed or replaced?

If we can fix your damaged wood, which is less expensive than replacement, we remove all the damaged wood, use our special abatron mix, carefully patch the wood, sand, prime and paint. This will add years of life and beauty to your project.

If wood replacement is needed we would determine if the job is suitable for our crew to replace or if a specialty craftsman is needed. We know other trades that can help get the job done.
