An outside faucet leaked for some time inside the exterior wall before it was noticed. Now on investigating I find the OSB sheathing to be rotting in this area. The outside wall is synthetic stucco and interior wall cedar. My access to the area in question is a 14" x 14" access panel and 3" along the floor where the base board was. The rotting area is between two studs and extends from the access panel to the floor(about 40"). I would like not to replace the entire sheathing nor make any more holes in the cedar. As it is there is no visible cosmetic damage from inside the room or on the exterior stucco. Obviously I fixed the leak and will dry the area.
Is there anything that can be done to repair the rotted OSB (the studs are fine)? Do I need to do anything?
