How to Check for Rotted Wood
Consider walking around your house a few times a year and inspecting the wood for rot.
- Look at the edges of trim, especially where it meets the roof line or meets the ground.
- Look at window sills and other wood components that lay flat and allow water to settle on them.
- If you are unsure if an area is rotted, then gently push on the area with a small screwdriver; if it sinks in and the wood is soft, it’s rotted.
