Awful Smell in One Room?

There is an awful smell in one of the bedrooms. This year it started to stink right after we turned off the swamp cooler for the year. (One of the swamp cooler's "dumps" is between the bedroom and the adjoining bathroom.) It smells like sewer. We keep the door shut. Last year this room had the "dead mouse" stench. I cleaned closets, moved furniture, to no avail.

It stunk for several months. Now the stink is back. I've lived in this house for 35 years and didn't have this problem before last year. The house is 65 - 70 years old. Three walls in this bedroom are paneled. There is a "space" under this part of the house. I don't know what to do or whom to call. Any suggestions?

A few months after a contractor fixed water damage in our house we experienced a constant odor of feces or sewage throughout our house. We were at a loss until pulling up one of our carpets. The floor was covered with black mold. We began stripping walls and found the same behind. As it turned out instead of replacing damaged materials the company dried them with fans, bleached to kill odor and painted over damaged materials carpets were fan dried and relayed also.

We had 3 toxic molds that caused unbele unbelievable illness and three lost babies.Hopefully this is not your issue but it is cheap and easy to test for molds. You can get mold testing kits online for about 100$. If they come back positive seek out a company to come do an air quality test and wkr km from there.Best wishes.
