Look for workings, insects or soil-like material associated with internal galleries.

Persistent moisture, softening and fungal change require the water source and timber condition to be addressed.
Do not assume treating insects repairs decay or that drying timber resolves pest activity.
Structural adequacy belongs with a suitably qualified building professional.
