Hello I live in a purpose built block of flats on the top floor. I have a concrete floor. There is a yeasty musty smell only on wet or damp days and only when the window is open in both the bedroom and the living room. The smell comes from between the skirting board and the floor on the shared wall between the living room and the bedroom. The smell also emanates from between the skirting board and the floor in the bedroom on the adjacant wall in the corner near the wall adjoining to the living room. It is peculiar in that it only smells when i open the window, yet it definitely comes from between the skirting board and the floor. It's like a fermenting, yeasty musty smell, yet the floor is concrete, and I live on the third floor. The flat is owned privately. Please can anyone offer any damp specialist help, thanks.
