WOOD TEST NECESSARY
Jabbing With Knife Tells if It
Has Become Unsound.


Structural and other wooden men,
bers in building may become un-
sound if subjected TO alternate wet
and dry conditions. For example
the ends Of joists embedded in ma
sonry foundation walls may become
unsound if the walls of the basement
are damp and poorly ventilated.
Similar damage to other parts of
the building may occur as result Of
a leak in the roof or caves. loosened
or deteriorated flashing. improperly
constructed or unpainted windows,
and the like.
The wood may be tested by jab-
bing it with the point of a jack
knife. If it is soft and spongy, or
if the wood fibers break of as
though very brittle, it is likely that
structural reinforcemcnts are neces-
sary. Badly deteriorated parts should
be replaced. Then, OF course, the
building should be repaired, damp
proofed and kept properly ventilated
