About This Rotten Timber Repair

The timber threshold at this East Tamaki property had rotted through at one corner, where years of moisture exposure had softened and broken down the wood.

Rotten timber around doors and thresholds is one of the repair items most commonly flagged in Healthy Homes inspection reports, since it points to an ongoing moisture problem at an entry point.

The damaged section was removed and a new timber threshold was cut, fitted and painted to match the surrounding trim, restoring a solid, even entrance.
