	To treat rot, all affected timber as well as timber within 500 mm of fungal attack must be removed. Contaminated plaster should be removed and adjacent mortar joints to masonry should be raked out. For wet rot, as long as the source of dampness has been removed and the affected area has been allowed to dry, this should be sufficient. For dry rot, the surfaces of masonry and concrete may need to be sterilised using a fungicide.		To treat rot, all affected timber as well as timber within 500 mm of fungal attack must be removed.

−	It is common for infestations such as wood-rotting fungi and woodworm to cause damage to untreated timber in buildings. This can not only cause decay of the building fabric, if left untreated, the structural integrity of the building can be put at risk leading to substantial costs for repair and refurbishment. However, there are a wide range of chemical preservatives available that impregnate the wood cells, making them more durable and resistant to decay, insects, weathering and even fire.	+	It is common for infestations such as wood-rotting fungi and woodworm to cause damage to untreated timber in buildings.
