Several months ago my house had a flood behind the wall. I had it professionally repaired with dehumidifiers and they cut out and replaced the wet drywall. They also replaced the flooring. A couple months ago I started to smell something mildewy or moldy. I've been away on trips and the house has been closed up a lot. I was becoming concerned that the dry out job didn't work. However, the weather has gotten colder, so I turned on the heat last week (gas heat). Now after a couple days the smell has vanished. Does anyone have any ideas what could have caused the problem.

I would think that the smell has something to do with the previous flood, maybe something did dry out perfectly enough.

Did they spray the wood behind the sheetrock to treat for mold before installing the new sheetrock. What type flooring was it that got wet?
