I have just found small areas of wet rot on the under floor of my Rapido where it meets the wall, obviously there has been some water ingress over sometime which I have now prevented and sealed but there are small areas where the plywood has become a little spongy and I can smell the decay.. I have also noticed there are some areas of woodworm attack over the whole of the floor. My intention is to treat the spongy areas with first with Sika 5 star wood treatment which should kill off the rot by injecting it with syringe as well as painting the area he and then spraying the rest of the underside to deal with the woodworm. I am also going to use Ronseal wood Hardner on the spongy areas again using a syringe so that I get good penetration.
I was wondering of anyone had tried the same method/materials and if so what success or otherwise they had. I have contacted the manufacturers to find out if injecting the product too deep and therefore into the foam sandwich would have any affect on the foam by dissolving it or otherwise but so far Little information is forthcoming. Also I was wondering whether anyone has used underseal products on the underfloor to give further protection.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
