Log homes require more training and experience than regular sided homes. Logs come with there own set of problems and deficiencies. Internal rot, wood destroying insects, log setting and more can create hidden problems that a trained inspector might deduce. Often a hidden problem creates a cascading visual deficiency that can be seen in another area of the home. Log homes are meant to settle in place. But did the company allow for enough time before the final tightening of the logs? Hire a certified Log inspector who understands the process of log home development, placement, settlement and ongoing maintenance. Log home inspections add a little more cost to a normal home inspection but that extra time spent is worth the expense.
