Default Mold Smell At Night

back. As it turns out, the mold smell comes back at night, and then
every day, goes away. I'm guessing this is due to the condensation and
the night air in my extremely humid (South Louisiana) climate.
Sooo:
1. Does that seem to make sense that night air is reigniting my mold?


Matt, I think it more likely you change something at night, shch as close
the door or windows (safety thing possibly). Possibly some fan you run in
the daytime is turned off? Thats allowing the smell to build?


Doors and windows are closed all day long, also, I'm not running any
fans or A/C units.

However, I just bought a dehumidifier and ran it all night, and now I
have no mold smell
whatsoever. I -am- concerned about it coming back. Perhaps I'll check
for small cracks/fissures
in the walls where outside moisture might be entering.
