The Secret Life of Wood
The solutions to wood decay are quite simple - repair it, or replace it. But like a loaf of homemade bread that's developed a little mold, rot-damaged wood doesn't have to be thrown away. It's not as simple as scraping mold from bread, but repairing wood usually makes more sense and is more economical than replacing it.
Wood Rot
Many homeowners are familiar with wood damage caused by rot. They see it in structural lumber, log homes, eaves, garage doors, exterior door trim, window casings and other wood used in construction. Current estimates show that replacement materials, needed to repair damage caused by rot alone, account for nearly 10 percent of U.S. annual wood production.
Blame for this destruction is sometimes incorrectly placed on termites or other wood-destroying insects. However, there are no mud tunnels or mines in the wood such as seen with termite and other wood-destroying insects, nor is there any sawdust, which would be evident in the case of carpenter ant damage.
