Wood Decay and Log Replacement

Decay is a natural process for any living matter that is exposed to the elements.  Wood is no exception.  When a tree is cut down, debarked and left unprotected it starts the decay process.  Log homes are commonly sold with a preservative treatment to help protect the logs.  However, over time these preservatives can break down for multiple reasons (uv rays, rain, sleet, snow, bugs etc.).

Log Building Solutions will inspect your logs to check for decay and to make sure the preservative is still doing its job.  In the event, that wood has decayed, LBS has the capability to replace logs even in the middle of a wall.
