Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help me understand what is happening in my bedroom. There is a strange, bad smell that we get in the winter time only (November/December). It's not easy to define the smell, it's like a mix of mold and sewage. It comes and goes and it's been doing it for about three years. Nothing at all in the summer times, it all starts in the beginning of November and is usually gone by January but it comes and goes even during those months. We have a boiler in the bedroom and the smell seems to be coming from one part of the closet, we ripped out the back of the closet but we can't tell exactly where it's coming from. There is no visible sign of damp. The door where the boiler is doesn't smell, the one part of the closet right next to it is fine. It's the one after that smells really bad. I'm mentioning the boiler even though I'm not sure it is related to that. Does Any idea of what this smell could be due to? I don't think it's something like mice (no sign of mice anywhere) so I presume it could be something related to the heating. I guess I should call a plumber and hope that the smell is there when he comes. Any opinion would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
