My House Smells After My Flat Roof Was Replaced

It looks great and even better doesn t leak.

My house smells after my flat roof was replaced.

This moisture combined with the stagnant air and dark corners can lead to the growth of mold and mildew. So i opened the garage to let it air out and now it s fine. Now i m not so sure. This was done by a storm chaser roofing contractor who probably sub contracted this job they have changed roof of almost every other home.

Mold and mildew can hide behind walls or in other unseen places. 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. When they were here they had large pieces of wood up against the garage to protect it and i noticed the garage reaked of the smell after they left. It began after she had a hail damaged roof replaced with dimensional shingles.

When you re enter your house follow the offending scent until you reach the area where the smell is the strongest. This odor doesn t necessarily always permeate the whole house but it sometimes does. Keep in mind that the smell may be coming from other floors the attic crawlspaces or even through vents outside. 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.

An hour ago i believed i didn t make a terrible decision that will exacerbate my migraine attacks. You can sometimes smell it more in one room or part of the house than in others. Leaky pipes a damaged roof high humidity and exposed dirt in the crawlspace may all contribute to moisture buildup. 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.

Sometimes you just seem to run into a pocket of it or it just wafts by you.
