Expert Dry Rot Repairs in Santa Rosa’s Larkfield Wikiup Area
Santa Rosa Dry Rot Repair
In the Larkfield Wikiup region of Santa Rosa, We recently had the opportunity to lead a challenging dry rot repair project. This project perfectly exemplifies our expertise at Nature Pacific Pest in construction and structural restoration. The homeowner was dealing with a serious issue involving damaged support rim joists and sill plates, both crucial for the house’s stability. The culprits behind this structural damage were none other than termites, fungus, and persistent rot, which had taken their toll, leaving the structural beams beyond repair.
Our Process
Our dedicated construction division sprang into action, employing innovative solutions to tackle this issue head-on. Here’s a glimpse of the meticulous process:
Lifting and Support: We initiated the project by strategically using jacks to lift the home. This allowed us to gain access to and work on the compromised areas. To ensure the home’s stability during repairs, we constructed a robust pony support wall, capable of safely bearing the load.
Precise Demolition: With precision and care, we proceeded to remove the siding, rim joist, and the framing of the wall. This was a crucial step to create a clean slate for the rebuilding and restoration phase.
Expert Framing and Reinforcement: The framing of the wall was meticulously reconstructed using quality fir wood, known for its exceptional strength and durability. To safeguard against future infestations, we treated the new rim joist with pressure-treated wood and applied Bora Care wood preservative to the framing. These measures not only restored the structural integrity but also fortified it against potential threats.
