Default What's wrong with my tree?

The bark is falling off. There are small holes. If I knock on the part without bark, it feels hollow. The tree still has leaves. The rest of the tree looks good, just this part near the base has a problem.

1. What is wrong with the tree?
2. How do I address it?
3. Should I have the tree removed? it is tall enough to fall on my house

Thanks!

Get a qualified arborist in and pay for an assesment on the tree! don't be cheap! if you don't this could cost you thousands or a life, just pick up the phone and get an arborist with a good reputation to advise you on the best course of action
