Hopefully we won't find any improper patch-ups, loose weather stripping, broken caulk- and chink lines
In case we do, our report shows you exactly where, so you can take care of it. Most of the time these problems are easy to fix.
As you see on the picture, the chinking on this house failed. The chinking was just replaced 12 months ago.
Why did the chinking fail ? We try to answer this question in our evaluation report.
Most eave and soffit boards on a log home are made out of wood. If not maintained properly these are the first ones that usually fail and must be replaced.
If the stain failed and was not redone in time your wall will turn grey. If you want to reverse this, you have to use some bleach, chlorine bleach is not too environmental friendly and some species of wood get a really ugly orange color. Corn blasting would be a solution too.
In our evaluation report we will recommend necessary maintenance work.
We also point out if wrong materials were used in the past.
Some Log Home Systems have a continuous rod-system from the first course to the last course of logs to tighten them together. When your Log Home shrinks, the nut on top of the rod must be tightened during the first few years. We check if this was done correctly, but if it's not visible we can't evaluate it.
