Our Process for Wood Rot Repair or Log Replacement
Rotten wood is something every log cabin owner has to face once in a while, and rot repair becomes necessary for keeping your cabin looking great and standing strong. Here’s how we tackle it:
First, we assess the damage to decide which parts of the wood need to be repaired or replaced. If even a single piece of rotten wood is missed, it threatens the rest of the structure. To make sure the repair is essentially invisible, we carefully select wood that matches the current one and prepare it to maintain the beauty of your property.
In the case of rotted log repair, we carefully remove any rotten logs and clear out all the debris. We then treat the area with a wood preservative to stop any future rot in its tracks. This treatment also kills any lingering bacteria or fungi that could cause more damage down the line. Once everything is dry, we fill the gap with a special wood filler made just for log homes. This filler is shaped to match the surrounding logs perfectly and left to dry.
After that, we seal everything up with a premier log home sealant to protect it from the elements and keep future rot at bay. Properly prepping and sealing the wood ensures that the repaired pieces are long-lasting.
FAQs About Our Log Rot Repair & Replacement Services in Manitoba
To dispose of rotten logs, cut them into manageable pieces first, if they’re too big to handle. You can take the pieces to a local landfill or recycling center that accepts wood waste. If you have a fireplace or wood-burning stove, you might be able to burn the logs, but only if it's safe and allowed in your area. It’s important to check your local waste disposal guidelines. Some areas have specific rules for disposing of wood.
Yes, it’s possible. You have to dry out the rotting wood completely. Apply a wood preservative to dried-out wood, it will keep it from future rot. But if your wood is soft, it's better to hire a professional to do the job, and they may repair or replace it. Call us at Maurice & Sons for our experienced team to handle it for you.
If you catch the rot early, you can fix it using epoxy resin. First, remove any soft, rotted wood and clean the area thoroughly. Then, apply the epoxy resin to fill and strengthen the damaged spot.

Dry rot is a very dangerous wood fungus. It doesn’t just mess with the strength of your log cabin; it also signals a bigger damp problem. While dry rot itself isn’t a huge health risk, the structural damage it causes can eventually turn into a serious hazard. So, tackling dry rot quickly is super important. Call us for affordable and experienced wood rot repair services in Manitoba.
Rotted wood is just wood that’s been damaged by decay. It usually happens when the wood gets wet and isn’t dried out properly, so fungi or bacteria breaks it down. The result is wood that’s soft, crumbling, and weak, which can cause serious damage to structure and demand costly repairs.
A couple of important things that you need to keep in mind is to regularly clean it of any dirt, debris, and stains. Promptly treating any damage on the wood can also help prolong the life of your deck. Treating the wood with appropriate preservatives and protective coatings is also important to protect it from sun, and weather. Our experts are ready to guide you through the whole process.
