rotted through
Decay reached core
Something that has rotted through has decayed completely from one side to the other, losing structural integrity: The floorboards had rotted through and couldn't support any weight.
The phrase emphasizes that decay isn't superficial but has penetrated entirely, leaving the material compromised or ruined.
