Insect Damage to Logs
Log homes that are built in 2005 or later typically have a foam gasket, which has been applied in the tongue and groove system as a log home is constructed.
Over time the logs will season, expand, contract, and cure. This leads to large gaps in the once tightly fitting tongue and groove system. This also causes the foam gasket to become ineffective.
What is Thermography?
For our purposes, Thermography is a method of viewing building materials through the use of an infra-red camera to detect temperature differences. These images are then analyzed to make recommendation for repairs. This allows our customers to visually see where the leaks are located on the home.
What can be Accomplished?
Our team uses thermography to find areas where water or air leaks may be occurring and sealing those areas, thus saving money by targeting problem spots instead of unnecessarily replacing a whole wall. Other common benefits of conducting this type of repair include the following:
- Target specific spots of water or air leaks thus saving money by being able to directly seal the specific spot of concern instead of a whole wall that is not needed.
- Lower Energy Bills
- Increased life of HVAC Equipment
- Elimination of Insects
- Better Air Quality
- Greater Comfort
- Find Water Leaks – Sometimes!!
