Hey guys, im very concerned about this problem and need advice. I live in an old small two bedroom apt in florida, and about a year ago, my landlord replaced my shower which is nice tan tile, sliding doors. But for the past 2-3 months or so I've been smelling a persistent mildew smell and don't know what to do.I also have little gnats flying in front of my computer screen from time to time(especially at night). I barely eat in my room though. Please help I went to home depot and got a container of damp rid and placed on the bathroom floor near the shower.
Yesterday the complex maintenance man took a look at the shower, he was able to wedge his pocket knife through cracks in the corner of the shower and said a little water is leaking through the cracks everytime you take a shower. He also found little cracks on the floor of the shower too where he wedged his knife into.
I have a small room closet which is on the outside of where the shower is and smell the mildew smell there also, we recently changed our ac vent for about a year, im scared my family has been breathing in this mildew smell for a very long time and i think since we're so used to being home sometimes we can't even smell it.
But I know for sure some days i smell it and some days i don't. What would be the safest thing to do? Should i ask my landlord to buy a dehumidifier?
Thanks any advice is greatly appreciated.
