Fume like smell coming up concrete floor
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.36 PM
We have a fume like smell coming up in one part of a lower ground Victorian terrace. It has a concrete floor. Clay soil. There is also damp in the area too and it seems like no damp proofing was ever undertaken. The smell is not always present and comes and goes with no pattern we can identify. It’s carpeted at the moment. We’ve checked the sewerage drain and it’s not blocked. Someone has suggested there may be a cracked pipe under the concrete slab but how do we find that out? Any suggestions for finding out what the issue is? We don’t just want to do tanking if there is something else wrong? We also want to get underfloor heating. The smell is making us feel sick.
