ood Rot … two words that the average home owner never wants to hear. The reality is that wood will decay over time and the prime reason for decay is poorly sealed wood that has not been maintained. Moisture gets in, allowing fungi to grow decaying the wood structure. As the wood gets more saturated, the faster it decays.
