ain't there a GOOD way to detect hidden dry (or wet) rot when inspecting an old house, particularly when crawling the foundation?https://www.dryrot.biz/fugenex.htmthese are supposed to be "installed" (drill into wood) to detect acid that dry rot produces.What about maybe running slim-jim up in wood and rubbing it on sensor?What about drilling a very small hole (like so the pesky RE agent listening at the hatch wont notice because of my loud banter and other noise) and testing a tiny amount of shavings?
It's as simple as crawling around the perimeter poking everything with a screwdriver every few inches. If the screwdriver plunges in, there's rot. Most sill plate dry will be under doors and/windows due to improper/no flashing.
