Structural Repair

Wood Rot Repair in Chattanooga & North Georgia

Rot in your sill plates, joists, or subfloor will not stop on its own. We cut out the damaged wood, replace it with treated lumber, and fix the moisture that caused it.

The problem we solve

  • Constant crawlspace moisture lets wood-rotting fungus eat into framing and subfloor.
  • Rot often starts under leaky bathrooms, near vents, and along the sill plate.
  • Soft spots in the floor are usually a sign the rot has been going on for a while.

Good questions

Wood Rot Repair — common questions

Soft spots in the floor, a musty smell, dark or crumbling wood on the joists, and wood that a screwdriver sinks into easily are the common signs. We probe the framing during the inspection and show you photos.

Yes. Depending on how far it has gone, we sister new lumber alongside the damaged joist or replace that section completely. Rotted subfloor is cut out and replaced.

Moisture. Ground moisture, humid outside air through the vents, plumbing leaks, and poor drainage all keep wood damp enough for rot to grow. That is why we fix the moisture as part of the repair.
