The importance of ventilation and air movement in construction, is in my opinion greatly overlooked. A lack of ventilation and air circulation leads to mould, condensation dampness and of course creates ideal conditions for the germination of wood destroying fungi.

This timber survey yielded surprising results as it's not that common to find a Dry Rot out break in new construction. Modern design and building regulations are designed to eliminate moisture and the associated risks from buildings however, as this video highlights if during construction you deviate from the design, cut corners fail or fail to follow good practice even new construction will be at risk!

This is my 3rd significant dry rot survey in less than 6 weeks and we've currently 2 large dry rot projects ongoing! Dry rot is no mythical fungus, it is real!
