Hello,
I'm hoping someone out there can help me with this stressful situation.
This past summer I bought my first house, and I started to notice some imperfections in the hardwood. There are several spots of raised darkened wood that is hollow underneath (see pictures below). I've attempted to fix a couple spots by digging out the area and filling with some wood filler. However, over the last several months the problems have started to progress, and I'm not sure the best solution.
The house has been treated for termites, but there has been no signs of infestation in months. Yet these problem are still progressing beneath my feet.
Please check out these pictures. If you have any advice, please let me know. Thank you!
Here is a section I noticed some raised wood back in September:

Here is a spot that I attempted to patch (poorly) back in September:

Thanks for any help or advice you can give!
Happy Holidays
