Expert Rot Repairs for a Safe and Healthy Home
Wood rot can silently destroy the structural integrity of your home — but with professional rot repair services from Home Crew, you can stop the damage before it gets even worse.
What Is Wood Rot?
Wood rot is caused by fungal growth in moist, unventilated conditions. It typically affects timber structures, including:
- Fascia boards
- Window and door frames
- Decking and balustrades
- Subfloor timbers
- Weatherboards and cladding
There Are Two Main Types:
- Dry Rot: Despite its name, it thrives in damp conditions and spreads quickly.
- Wet Rot: Caused by consistent moisture exposure and usually stays in one area.
Signs You May Need Rot Repairs
- Crumbling, soft, or spongy timber
- Discolouration, cracks, or fungal growth
- Musty smell in timber-rich areas
- Peeling paint or bubbling under the surface
- Difficulty opening or closing timber windows/doors

Beams
Repairing beam rot is a crucial task for maintaining structural integrity in buildings, especially in areas exposed to moisture such as basements, exterior walls, or decks.
Doors
Rotting doors, specifically external timber ones, are a prone to rotting due to water exposure, poor sealing, or age. If left too long, full replacement may be required.
Decks
Rot on decks is a common problem, especially if there is poor drainage. It often affects deck boards, support posts, beams, and joists. We recommend prompt repair to prevent accidents and further damage.
Fascia
The fascia often supports the gutter system, so it is crucial to stay on top of any repairs. Faulty gutters, roof leaks, or inadequate paint and sealing the fascia, can lead to increased water exposure, causing the rotting.
Pergolas
Pergolas, especially those made of untreated or poorly maintained timber, are vulnerable to rot due to continuous exposure to moisture, sun, and sometimes climbing plants.
Weatherboards
Weatherboards are commonly used on timber homes across Australia. Over time, exposure to rain, humidity, and poor maintenance can cause wood rot.
