[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We noticed a musty smell in out living room starting about a week ago. There is no visible damage on windows or the floor (no carpet). I'm not sure if it's coming form the fireplace or if it's somewhere in the walls. How do I track it down?[/quote] It is electrical. I'm not kidding on this. When you smell it strongly, unscrew the outlet plates in the room and touch them to feel the heat. If an outlet is hot, that is the issue. The smell is the burning of a worn-out connector. Kinda smells like a dead animal/mold combo. Call an electrician today! [/quote] Wow, thanks. Cannot figure out what is wrong with our place and have had pest services and mold testing. Guess this is next. If I can't find the source, will an electrician check all the outlets?[/quote]
