Hidden Dry Rot in Sacramento Apartment Complex - General Contractor Called

I received a urgent call from an apartment manager concerned about a dry rot issue that they had. Apparently the storage closet was damaged to a point where vandals were able to literally tear open the wood siding of the storage unit. That’s right, the rotten wood was so bad that someone could push though the bad siding and walk through the wall.

The repair of this area was necessary to secure the area from future problems. I got a kick out of the temporary solution to this problem. They stacked up several concrete steps to cover the damaged hole that the rot had created.

Calling a qualified contractor before the damage had gotten this bad, may have been a better choice.
