Questionnaire relating to the occurrence, prevention and repair of Dry Rot attacks in buildings

IRG/WP 1418

A P Koch

Dry Rot attack in buildings has become an increasing problem in Denmark. The reason is that old multi-storey houses from about 1890-1920 are being renovated and modernised and connected to this well-hidden Dry Rot attacks are detected. The traditional methods for repair used in Denmark are very expensive but with a high degree of confidence when done carefully. There is a big need for development of alternative methods that are much cheaper but still effective. Collecting experience from all countries where Dry Rot is a problem will make it possible to formulate new ideas and possibly find new solutions. A questionaire has therefore been devised which it is hoped, members will complete and return in order that an accurate assessment of the present situation can be obtained.
