Hello,
A few months ago, we moved into a supposedly high-quality renovated apartment in a complex and unique three-family house (owner-occupied).
We keep noticing an unpleasant smell in the bedroom. (I know, the sentence sounds funny, but I’m serious…)
About the situation:
Built in the 1980s (high quality)
Calcium silicate walls, painted
Floating parquet floor
Several windows
Exposed roof beams almost up to the exterior insulation
Heating always off
If it’s not around minus 10 degrees Celsius (14°F), the windows are open
No visible mold
The smell is hard to describe. Sometimes it’s very strong, sometimes only a little, and it accumulates in the bedroom because we only notice it when we open the door at bedtime and practically walk into a cloud.
It smells a bit like musk or like when someone just opens a fresh beer.
It also reminds me of dog farts (from my girlfriend’s Boxer).
Yes, this post might seem amusing because of its content, but the problem is a serious concern for us.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Or experience with relevant reports and their approximate cost?
I’m grateful for any suggestions.
