Hello,

I am interested in buying a log home that was built in 1985, and I understand that there was a period when some log homes were treated with carcinogenic substances such as pentachlorophenol and CCA.

Can you provide any information about this? Do you know if and when the practice stopped? Is there a way to find out if the logs in this home were treated with PCP and CCA?

Thank you!

Sue
