Regular checksConduct a thorough walk-around inspection in the spring and fall. If the home is located in a shaded area or prone to wind-driven weather, more attention may be needed. Check the roof drainage systems and where that water goes. Cleaning gutters is very important. Look for signs of: moisture, faded or damaged finishes and logs, and deteriorated chinking or caulking.
-
Gentle washing and cleaningGentle soft washing is mostly labor, and starts with water using a hose. If you need to step it up, move to a log cleaner and tools like a soft bristle brush specifically designed for log homes, as these products are gentle on wood fibers. Avoid power washing. Rinse thoroughly to make sure all traces of cleaning solution are removed to prevent residue from drying on the wood. Cleaning gutters is very important.
-
Moisture managementIf you find evidence of moisture penetration, determine the source and correct it. This may involve improving drainage, correcting roof issues, or increasing ventilation especially around the exterior walls (don’t store items against the home). Inspect for gutter obstructions, leakage, slope attachment, and that downspouts are moving water away from the foundation of the home. No gutters? Make sure grade level landscaping has an obvious slope away from the structure and clear all vegetation.
-
Log RepairDeferred homeowner level maintenance is a major contributor to log repair. Log repair includes refinishing to protect logs by cleaning them, preparing rough or deteriorated areas and applying stains and sealants designed for log homes and compatible with each other. Choose a finish that provides UV protection and water repellency. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
-
Comprehensive maintenanceChinking and Caulking Repair/Replacement: This is paramount. Any cracks or gaps in the chinking or caulking may allow water, air and insects to infiltrate. Remove deteriorated chinking/caulking carefully. Apply new chinking or caulking, verify for proper adhesion and a watertight seal. Use products designed for log homes that can handle wood movement.
-
Contractor level maintenanceGiven that professional log home maintenance companies dedicate their expertise to this field, homeowners should recognize the learning curve involved, similarly when maintaining a stick-built home. Engaging professionals proves both economical and warranted for several reasons. Their focused experience ensures work is done correctly the first time, and reputable companies often offer comprehensive maintenance programs, delivering invaluable peace of mind.
