Why do some rural wooden houses decay quickly after being uninhabited? Why?

Sometimes you find that people have lived in wooden houses for decades and the houses are still strong. But once no one lived in it, within two years, the house was immediately transformed, the walls were moldy and rotten, and covered with cobwebs.

Dilapidated. Even some of the originally sturdy wooden houses were crumbling in just two years because they were uninhabited.

1. No ventilation. Especially in the south, wooden houses can rot quickly if they are uninhabited. Due to the spring and summer seasons in the south, the air is humid and rainy.

Generally, unused wooden houses are basically locked with doors. After all, no one lives there. Some of the old things didn't move into the new house and remained in the old house, so the door would be locked.

The wood itself is the most susceptible to moisture and decay, the wood becomes soft, and finally breaks with a slight pinch. Spring and summer are rainy, and uninhabited wooden houses are prone to leakage. In addition, the air itself is humid, and it is easy to breed all kinds of spoilage bacteria and attach to the wood.

In addition, without ventilation, moisture cannot be dissipated. In less than a year, the otherwise hard wood will rot and eventually collapse directly.

2. Termites. Termites are the biggest natural enemies of wood, and termites specialize in using wood as a shelter and feed on wood. In addition, termites are extremely capable of reproduction.

Without human intervention, vandalism is completely stress-free. Normally, it only takes a year or two for the whole house to be swallowed up.

3. No maintenance required. Generally speaking, if there is a slight problem with an inhabited wooden house, the owner will immediately deal with it and repair it. In particular, the problem of rain leakage is more serious and should be dealt with immediately.

But no one lives there and no one cares about these leaks. In the long run, there will be more and more problems, and the house will soon be hit by wind and rain. All the wooden houses are basically on the hill.

The mountains are humid in the morning and evening, and since there are no people living in them, there are no open doors and windows for ventilation. There was no fire, and no one moved. The moisture in the house could not escape, and over time, the wood rotted.

In fact, not only wooden houses, even if they are newly built houses, as long as no one enters them for a year, the house will soon be rejuvenated, which may be a matter of popularity. When people are there, they take care of it. If there is popularity, the house will get better and better.

If there is no popularity, the house will age faster.

This is because wooden houses are prone to oxidation, no one lives in them, no one cleans them, and it is easy to lead to decay.

This is due to oxidation, no one uses it, oxidation is relatively fast, and many houses will rot.

If the house is unoccupied, the door will be closed all the time, and then it will not be ventilated, which will cause the room to be very damp and the wood will corrode.

Uninhabited houses may become damp and mildew if they are not ventilated for a long time. Sometimes there are termite influences as well.

With the development of the times, more and more peasants have given up farming and chose to work in the city, on the one hand, the conditions of the city are relatively superior in all aspects, and it is also more powerful for the future development of their children. Everyone wants to pursue a better life, which is understandable, but this also leads to a lot of houses in the countryside that no one lives in, and compared with the houses that are lived in all the year round, there is an obvious disadvantage, that is, it breaks fast, it stands to reason that things are used less, and they can be used for a longer time, so why do no people live in houses break very quickly? There are three main reasons behind this.

First of all, in the house where no one lives in the countryside, the owner will lock the doors and windows in order to prevent water from entering the house on rainy days or birds flying in, but there is also a disadvantage in this way, that is, the long-term closed environment makes it difficult for the air in the house to circulate, and there is no sunlight to get in.

If left unattended for a long time, the walls will easily become moldy, and then breed various microorganisms, slowly corroding building materials and furniture, which is one of the reasons why the prevention and control of uninhabited people will deteriorate quickly.

Secondly, there is an old saying in the countryside that "make up for the leaks while the weather is fine, study while you are young", so the house needs to be repaired and repaired, and the house that no one lives in usually lacks personnel to repair it, which is a very critical point. Especially in rural areas, there are many earthen houses, in case of heavy rain, the tiles on the rural earthen houses are very easy to break, and the rainwater is easy to seep into the house, and the wall is soaked in water, which will naturally be faster.

Finally, rural areas are generally far away from urban industrial areas, and rural families like to stock up on grain, and food is more abundant, and if no one lives in it, it will be treated as a home by small animals. In particular, small animals such as rats gnaw on food, and they also like to bite wood, so houses that no one lives in will deteriorate very quickly under the destruction of small animals.

In general, houses that no one lives in still deteriorates relatively quickly, so friends who work outside still have to go home regularly to take care of them, after all, their roots are here.

If there is a fire, the house will be drier, and it will be easy for others to live, but once there is no one, it will be cold, cold and damp, and it will be easy to rot.

Because once no one is around, the doors and windows of the house will be closed, the air will not circulate well, the house is more humid, and the wood will be more likely to rot; And if no one repairs it often, it's also perishable.

Because if the wooden houses in the countryside are uninhabited, they will be uncared for, and they will be very damp inside, so they are easy to rot.
