Holes, damaged wood or other signs of insect activity are a reason to look more closely at your log home. Log Home Rescue can discuss the affected areas and how treatment fits with any repair, preparation or finish work the home needs.
Based in Plaistow, New Hampshire, and serving log homeowners in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine. Call 844-LOG-PROS to discuss your project.
Start with what you can see
Take a wide photograph showing the location on the home and close-ups of holes or damaged areas. Note when you first saw the change, whether the area becomes wet, and whether you have noticed insects using it.
Consider the wood as well as the insects
Treatment and repair address different parts of the problem. If wood has deteriorated, the team can assess whether log repair is needed. If an opening or failing coating is allowing moisture to reach the wood, sealing or finish maintenance may also belong in the plan.
Choose the treatment after assessment
The treatment depends on the condition found, the pest involved and the product’s approved use. Tell us about any previous treatment and provide its label or product name if you have it.
Send your photos and location
Share your town, a wide photograph of the affected wall and close-ups of the problem. If you know the existing stain or when the home was last maintained, include that history.
