Bathroom smell is ruining my life
Since moving in 3 years ago the downstairs bathroom has had a smell. Back then it was just somewhat unpleasant, which I chocked up to just being an old bathroom. Between then and now we have ripped up the carpet in the connected bedroom and replaced it with LVP. At some point along the way, a smell has gotten so bad that it fills the tv room and lately has been making it up to the entryway landing.
additional details
- the bathroom is small, includes a shower, and has full wood panel walls
- I have used a moisture reader on the tile and walls and they seem okay
- we had an air test done the other day and it came back perfect in the bathroom (he also did moisture readings and they were good)
- we have visible mold in a crawl space (which we are treating) and this smell is entirely different
- we lifted up a few of the lvp up tonight and the smell does not seem to be coming from under
- my throat hurts after being in the room for more than a few minutes which didn’t happen a year ago
- when we open the small window in the bathroom the connected room doesn’t smell as bad BUT then I can smell the smell when outside in the backyard (where the window opens to)
- my husband does not smell it which is truly mind blowing bc it’s all I can smell
if you read this far, thank you and I appreciate any advice. I am certain that if I end up in hell, it will smell like this, for eternal torture.
