![]() It was just horrible, it was seriously nauseating to the point of thinking we should go to a hotel until we could figure it out.Īny time the ac turned on, it permeated the room… so much so that we went without the air conditioning through two very warm months. I even bought a face mask to wear so I could sleep. As the days went on, it got so strong your eyes would burn, and headaches started up. It's hard to describe, it’s an odd sweet bad perfume like nauseating smell. It's a sickeningly sweet chemical like smell. It began with a very, very faint and strange odor in the house. (fingers crossed, please don't let it be that) Thank you for your help in advance:)įinding threads like this all over the net - and yet NO ONE has yet posted an answer. I'm wondering if we will have to demo that wall or the fireplace. PLEASE HELP ME! If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I saw in earlier posts that people suggested it could be behind the wall which is an outside wall. ![]() I was soo excited to find it but now I have no idea what to do about it. I was just in there today, got up on the ladder and smelled the top bookshelf and the bookshelf seems to be the source. It still stinks! AArgh! I'm really nervous that we're going to have to live with this smell. ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY AND ITS EMBARASSING!! I also removed the area rug in there and all the accessories to see if it is that. I had a plumber sniff around in there and have asked every contractor that has entered this house to go in there to take a whiff. ![]() I've had the fireplace people come out and seal some cracks, I had a mold specialist come out to see if there is any moisture in that room and that came out fine. We've been here 3 years and just a couple months ago, my husbands office smells like manure or some say it smells like the smelly mulch(same scent to me). I love this discussion!! We just bought a home that is 25 years old with cedar shake roof. Maybe someone spilled something in the attic? Do you have a full attic that you can easily walk around in? I would search carefully for stains or something like that. You never know in an old house! Also being an older house, we could have a crack in our vent pipe. We figured someone put the bathroom in and decided that venting outside was too hard. ![]() I am thinking that your smell must be coming from the attic into the bedroom (and not the other way) and that bedroom just may have a crack in the ceiling or something different that allows the smell to come in.Īre you sure it doesn't smell like sewer gas at all? I just ask because we do have problems with this in one room and we think that the vent goes to the attic and we are now looking for it. Why does this one room smell different than the rest? I painted the bedroom last year and totally redid it and it still smells the same. I can't explain the odor and it isn't bad I guess I just thought it smelled like the previous owners. I have an old farmhouse also and one of our bedrooms smells different too. We had one die under our bathroom and it STUNK SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad! ![]()
