A simple visual inspection of your cabin is enough to determine whether or not you need a full-blown restoration, or if your log home only needs additional TLC and maintenance. Ideally, you should do a visual inspection of your property at least twice a year in order to detect potential problems like termite tunnels and loss of water repellency which can lead to rot and decay. Gutters should be installed to deflect rain and sprinklers should be directed away from the sidewalls and foundation. Simply stated, DRY WOOD DOES NOT DECAY. But how can you keep wood dry outdoors in the elements? Use Outlast Q8 Log Oil exterior wood stain and preservative. Make sure to avoid the temptation to waterproof wood outdoors, because these sealer treatments eventually peel and crack away enabling water penetration and further deterioration of the finish.
Even the most basic maintenance routine for your log home can help you avoid costly restoration work, which is why it pays investing in the right water sealer/water proofing alternative: Q8 Log Oil- penetrating log home stain, water repellent, wood preservative and all around exterior wood protectant.
