Dry rot is a form of wood decay caused by certain species of fungi, particularly the Serpula lacrymans fungus. Unlike its name suggests, dry rot doesn't require the wood to be completely dry; it can thrive in damp and poorly ventilated environments. Dry rot can be a serious problem for wooden structures in buildings and homes.

Wet rot is another form of wood decay, caused by various species of fungi that thrive in damp or wet conditions. Unlike dry rot, wet rot typically requires higher moisture levels to develop. It can affect timber and other wood-based materials, potentially compromising the structural integrity of building

Woodworm is a term commonly used to describe the larvae of various species of wood-boring beetles. These larvae tunnel and feed on wood, potentially causing damage to timber structures and wooden furniture

A damp-proof course (DPC) is a barrier or layer incorporated into the structure of a building to prevent the upward movement of moisture or water from the ground into the building's walls. The primary purpose of a damp-proof course is to protect the building from dampness, which can lead to structural issues and create an environment conducive to the growth of mold and fungi.
