For the past week, I have noticed a mildew smell in the doorway to the master bedroom, which is on the upstairs level of our split foyer. Can you help me identify where it might be coming from? Here's what we've checked already:
-Looked in attic, no leaks from the roof (even went up during a torrential rainstorm, all is dry!)
-No signs of dampness in ceiling or walls adjacent to doorway
-We unscrewed all electric plate covers on those walls and sniffed behind the walls, no smell or signs of moisture in walls
-No signs of moisture in rooms below the master bedroom doorway, which I believe would rule out any pipe leaks
-We run a dehumidifier in the guest room, which is in the basement and directly below the offending doorway
-It's definitely not an errant piece of forgotten stinky laundry or the hamper
It's so weird! Any ideas what might be going on here?
