How To Spot A Rotting Log

Use a hammer and walk each logs full length, tapping on it being careful not to damage the log or the chinking . You will need a ladder to tap on the upper logs. Don't forget to tap on the logs directly below the windows! They are one of the first ones to show signs of rotting. If there is a hollow or rotten exterior, you will experience a different sound.

This is not always a foolproof way to locate rotted logs, but it works 90% of the time. Once a problem log is found, place a piece of masking tape to mark it for repair. Another method is to simply look for the gray weathered look or insect holes. Log ends are also spots for log rot, especially if they stick out past the overhangs of the house. Water splashing down off from the roof onto the top log starts a waterfall effect that can cause the whole corner to rot.

Sometimes you can see them going bad first from the empty spots forming in the log end. Please check out the article “Inside Look” on our “Featured Projects” page for more information on how and where to look for rotting logs. Then “contact us” to get a quote for replacement.
