San Diego Fungus & Dry Rot Treatments
Fungus & Dry Rot are Wood Destroying Organisms
Fungus and dry rot are wood attacking organisms that consume preformed organic matter. Fungus or dry rot produce spores, which are like tiny seeds that are distributed by wind and water. Moist areas maintaining between 50-85 degrees Fahrenheit will support fungal growth and dry rot. In your home, a shower, bath, toilet, kitchen, drain pipe or other leak left unfixed will case significant wood damage.
Typically, if there is no soil to wood contact, these conditions will be conducive to dry rot and fungus development. A leaking roof or patio cover will also severely damage wood if left uncorrected. Other wood members of the home such as the doors, windows, patio posts, columns, trim boards, etc. are damaged by excessive moisture such as rain, sprinkler systems or other moisture contributors. To minimize dry rot and fungus, it's helpful to keep your roof in prime condition and keep all exterior wood primed, painted and properly caulked.
Fungus & Dry Rot Treatments
Fungus and dry rot wood damage must be completely removed and replaced. If any fungus or dry rot wood is left behind, the problem will continue to spread. The moisture condition must also be fixed to provide a permanent solution. License To Kill’s carpenters are highly skilled in all aspects of construction.

Termite Control Reviews
Amazing service, found some termite damage that should have been treated by another company during escrow. License to Kill came out and did a free inspection and let me know how to handle the situation. They did not take a penny and the other company came out and fixed the damage.
I'm a real estate agent who works with termite companies on a regular basis. Whenever I get to pick who to hire, my choice is always License to Kill!! Their quality of work, attention to detail, and customer service are better than everyone out there! License to Kill does their part in making my real estate transaction smooth! They go above and beyond the rest!
I had subterranean termites under the slab portion of the house. License To Kill was prompt in inspection and met my scheduling needs. Successful work and left the work areas clean. Came back a year later under warranty to supplement and took care of another location unrelated to the first treatment. Cost of work was reasonable.
I hired them to get rid of my pest issues and not only did they provide exceptional service, but they also repaired the damage the termites did to my patio. They were friendly and professional. The price is what I expected to pay for the level of service they provided.
License To Kill was very easy to work with and they returned phone calls and were very polite on the phone. We had a urgent request for License To Kill to do a termite clearance on a property that was scheduled to close and they made it happen. Thank you License To Kill for working with us in a time crunch and your staff was very professional.
