  • I think something died

    I've never lived in a older home like our current rental. Its a single story with wood floors and a crawl space, 3b3b. So there's been a odor in my little girl's room. During the winter I didn't really smell it, but now that its hot here I smell it again. It smells like rot. DH said he thinks something died under the house maybe. Could it be in the wall? WTH do I do about this? I can't stand it and its only in her room.

    Anything that died, a rat, a squirrel, etc should have stopped smelling after about a month...

      That's what I thought! So what could it be? Its just in her room and I can't seem to pinpoint a area where its coming from. I have a strong sense of smell. I'm just overwhelmed when I walk into her room.

          We had a sewer problem last sept or oct but they came over and fixed it. I wonder if it didn't get totally fixed. Its on the same side of the house. Tomorrow I'll go outside and sniff around.

          I have her door wide open, plugged in a fan, put a Scently scent bag on the fan, plugged in a Scenty warmer. I feel awful we put her in there tonight. The air freshener I sprayed before she went to bed did nothing. She's moving to the guest bed tomorrow!

            Sounds like sewer gases.

              I'd give your plumber a call. Sorry, no fun dealing with that!

                  I emailed the landlord. Her handy man is going to check it out here in the next couple of days. I doubt he can do anything about it.

                  How can a sewer line smell only be in one small room? Its a ranch house where all the bedrooms are off one long hallway. She's in the middle room. Our bedroom shares a wall with her bedroom and there's no odor at all in the house except for her room! I hate old houses.

                    We get sewer gas occasionally coming up through our shower or laundry room sink if they haven't been used recently. (I think you all know about our shower saga, hence the periods where we have to use the kids showers...)

                    The smell is completely disgusting. Hope it gets fixed soon!
