Re: musty basement

[Guest guest]

I think the first place would be to have the basement tested along with the

ground floor and also the top floor. If both floors share the same system, it

is just sucking the ground floor air up into your second floor. I am new to

this board but this living situation does not sound good at all. either a

basement or a crawl space are not good for people with mold

sensitivies/poisoning. I have gone through thousands of posts over the past few

weeks and all the experts agree on this. If you can smell it, mold is there.

(tho I do need to test again). Yet its' still very musty. I had new hopper

windows put in for ventilations with a fan in one to vent outwards. Also have a

dehumidifier going full time emptying into area by wall for this.

Still extremely musty.

It hits you as soon as you open basement door. I have it taped off.

I know it's coming up to my first floor through the steps which are still

carpeted (have to have this removed asap). I thing I also detect it through the

fireplace. What do you suggest?? I hope you dont tell me to move and that it's

ok as long as I protect the upstairs. felice
