Please excuse the pace of this thread.
We have now moved on to possibly the real cause of our musty smelling living room.
On further exploration of the floor and hearth areas I have found the concrete that is under the carpet and foam underlay to be very damp. This has to be the cause of the smell right?
My father reckons i can get a resin to 'cap' it, by cutting channels all around and pouring in and over the top. He feels that putting poly sheeting and concrete will only end up having to be done again due to it cracking, plus the removal will be messy.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
