How to Identify Rotting Logs in Your Log Home

Wondering if your log cabin is facing log rot? Here’s a simple method to help you spot potential issues: Use a hammer to gently tap the length of each log, ensuring you don’t damage the wood or chinking. Be sure to inspect upper logs with a ladder and pay extra attention to logs below windows, as these are often the first to show signs of log rot. If you detect a hollow or unusual sound, you likely have a problem log. Mark the area with masking tape to remember its location for log repair. While this method works about 90% of the time, you should also look for visual signs, such as gray, weathered logs, insect damage, or rotting log ends—especially those that extend beyond the roof overhang. Over time, water splashing off the roof can cause serious rot in exposed corners and logs.
