Wood Rot Repair Rotten Logs Replace Logs and Restoration Services

Replacing Rotten Wood Is A Vital Part Of Log Home Restorations
When you combine wood, heat, air and moisture, the result is wood rot. This is not just unsightly; it can lead to significant structural damage to your home and in the worst cases, it can even cause structural collapse. Extreme care must be taken to replace logs with rot or repair rotten logs.

Fortunately, if caught early on, repairs can be made and with a quality maintenance program, your home can remain rot-free indefinitely. Even if the damage is significant, we have the knowledge, expertise and tools to repair the problem no matter how bad. Our work blends so well that most of the time you can't tell a difference between the sections that we restored and the rest of the home.

The unfortunate thing about log rot is that it will never stop, at least not until it is fixed properly. Once log rot has started, it will spread fast in every direction infecting everything it touches.

The most common comment we hear from homeowners is that, "we just didn’t think it was serious enough to fix, and before we knew it, we could see the rot in multiple logs."

If you feel you may have a rot situation, call us immediately for an inspection. We coordinate our schedule so that we can always squeeze in the most serious repairs, to assure your home does not receive further damage.

Replacing and repairing logs is a labor-intensive, dangerous and unique process that should only be done by a trained professional. We never recommend that a DIY try and do this job.

The other thing we often find is that there are people out there that will fix your logs, but won’t fix the cause of the problem. Perhaps you need to extend your eaves. Maybe you need gutters.

Perhaps a poor deck/porch design is causing the rot. Maybe your home needs chinked. This is a process where a backer rod is placed into the gaps between the logs. These rods are made in various shapes and sizes like the trap rod, which is shaped like a trapezoid. Once the rods are in place, a synthetic chinking material is used to cover it. The synthetic material will expand and contract with the movement of the home to assure a weather tight seal.

Please remember, log rot does not stop and is not something to put off. If you feel you may have problem, contact us immediately, and a company representative will promptly visit your home for an analysis, diagnosis and estimate for the repairs.

Even if you don’t know of an existing rot problem on your home, it is good idea to have a bi-annual inspection from our company to make sure you aren’t missing something.

Often we can literally find a trouble spot before it happens, and make the necessary corrections to your home so it is not in a "pre-rot" situation. Even if your home is newer, and rot is not a consideration, we may see a design flaw that will cause you significant problems down the road, but is an easy fix today.

With our professional experience, we can not only fix the damage, we can fix the problem that caused it. After ten years of service in the restoration and protection of literally millions of square feet of wood, we consider ourselves to be experts in all log home services. We are proud not only of the quality, meticulous work we do, but also the part we play in helping the environment. Get An Estimate Now!
