My House Smells After My Flat Roof Was Replaced

Leaky pipes a damaged roof high humidity and exposed dirt in the crawlspace may all contribute to moisture buildup.

My house smells after my flat roof was replaced.

We got our new roof architectural shingle and siding installed two yeras back and after that a strong odor started coming on the main level esp when you come from outside you smell the fumes smell more during summers. This was done by a storm chaser roofing contractor who probably sub contracted this job they have changed roof of almost every other home. Step 1 clear your sense of smell by stepping outside for a few minutes. When you re enter your house follow the offending scent until you reach the area where the smell is the strongest.

Sometimes you just seem to run into a pocket of it or it just wafts by you. Leaving the house open all night and a special 40 air conditioner filter diminished the odor greatly though the smell is worsening as the day warms up. Mold and mildew can hide behind walls or in other unseen places. Keep in mind that the smell may be coming from other floors the attic crawlspaces or even through vents outside.

Now i m not so sure. You can sometimes smell it more in one room or part of the house than in others. It looks great and even better doesn t leak. So i opened the garage to let it air out and now it s fine.

It began after she had a hail damaged roof replaced with dimensional shingles. You ll also need great soffit ventilation strips put in that allow outside air to flow up and into the attic space so the asphalt fumes are exhausted out of the top of the roof. This moisture combined with the stagnant air and dark corners can lead to the growth of mold and mildew. 1 we just had our roof replaced today and i ve noticed a distinct smell of natural gas at random times while walking through the house.

An hour ago i believed i didn t make a terrible decision that will exacerbate my migraine attacks.
