In order to Prevent wood and other moisture-sensitive materials from decaying is to separate from a constant uptake of moisture from the ground.
wood started rotting when moisture percentage goes beyond 20% and fungi started to grow and feed on cellulose. The wood needs to be wet in order to continuously deteriorate.
if we restrain the moisture from wood and other moisture-sensitive material then their life can be increased to a great extent.
Decay of wood or moisture-sensitive materials can occur when the substance is in direct contact with the ground or the moisture through capillary action, wicks through the substance.
The decay of the substance makes them unable for their useful applications. Hence, it is advisable to keep the materials at safer place, separated from the moisture.
