Hi all,
Rather more than a year ago I noticed that a corner of one the wooden floor= boards right next to our shower tray had rotted. I assumed that it was due = to water getting out of the shower, and causing wet rot. So I sealed the sh= ower properly with mastic, and moved on. I did leave the little hole that h= ad rotted (about two or three square inches) without filling it, just to ke= ep an eye on things.=20
Well now I've just had a look and we have a problem. There is water down th= ere again after a shower - not such a surprise because what made me look wa= s the fact that the mastic was looking a bit dodgy. However, on further inv= estigation I've managed to pull a mushroom/fungus from the hole! This, I th= ink, is pretty bad. I believe it can only mean dry rot, is that right? In w= hich case redoing the mastic gets rather overshadowed by a much more seriou= s problem!
Anyone with any experience of this?
Cheers!
