Worse than terrible. I have a water leak and evidently it’s caused some problems with mold (?) and I sneeze, cough, and blow all the time.
The leak will be fixed next week, so maybe then I’ll finally be able to breathe!! Can’t wait!!
@Tadlem43 I might actually consider this if in your situation.
You need to address the moisture issue which is fixing the leak.
Then you could speed that up with a dehumidifier and raising the heat a little depending on where you set your thermostat and if it uses a dry heat method. You need to dry it out to kill it/prevent growth. If the water has soaked into the drywall or something and they don’t replace it may take a while to dry out without some assistance.
A filter should help remove mold spores from the air so they can’t keep spreading or getting in you sinuses.
Just a thought/I’d probably consider a multi pronged approach. Stop supporting it. Kill it. Maybe some filtration would help.
@unksol Yes. thank you.
What I’m going to have to do is have a company that specializes in it come and dry it out. It’s caused buckling in my hardwood floors, so I think one of the joists is involved.
My ins. company said they would pay to have the damages fixed and have it dried out, then they suddenly pulled the approval and now say they won’t cover it. I’ll have to fight with them once the work is done and I can get pictures of what’s exactly going on.
In the mean time, I’m circulating the air as best I can, using one purifier, etc. but this one may help until I can get all of this taken care of.
Thank you so much for the suggestions! I appreciate you taking the time to respond!
@Tadlem43 good luck. Thought you might be in an appartment. Unfortunately insurance companies will usually only cover sudden water damage… and if in the policy. Gradual/slow leaks they usually won’t cover/argue you should have noticed. And it’s a failure to maintain the home. Or some other BS.
I mean there are cats. So there’s fur although I’ve never had one shed like in the comics. If you’re allergic probably an issue. There are litter boxes which in close proximity can obviously have a whiff but the rooms have exhaust fans when needed. The basement can get a funk for a day when it’s damp and the dehumidifier is catching up.
I’m sure its fine but it’s been a while since there has been an independent/unadjusted nose.
Regardless I do look forward to opening all the windows come spring just cause.
It takes less than 24 hours after wiping down my desk for it to develop a layer of dust sufficient to write “HI” in. This house was built in the 1800s and most rooms have no ventilation at all.
Breathable.
It depends upon what was served for dinner.
@rtjhnstn Not in my house
I should prefer not to describe the air quality of my house.
No smog. So I guess that is good, right?!?!?

Words do not do it justice.
But my allergies are far worse outside.
I keep tellin’ ya…
The dogs did it!
I think it’s dusty but breathable. My wife has a different opinion, that the dust mask my odor.
The daffodils and
narcissusesnarcissi are blooming so right now it’s pretty fragrant around the cut flower arrangement on the table.It takes less than 24 hours after wiping down my desk for it to develop a layer of dust sufficient to write “HI” in.

We have lots of plants.
Superfund site.
I fart a lot.
