I pray that someone can help me...For the last couple weeks there has been fumes in the kitchen and bathroom.
They can linger into my bedroom and closet too.
I know this sounds crazy, but it is true. I could not figure out where the
fumes were coming from. I would walk into the bathroom or kitchen and the fumes would be over-whelming. I could not figure out why these fumes were there. They would come and go.
One day I turned on the hot water faucet in the kitchen and the fumes hit me in the face. It was horrible. Since then I have turned on the hot water on and off several times in the bathroom and kitchen and it does not always happen everytime I do that.
These fumes also came out of the shower the other day.
It was so bad I had to run out of the shower to breath.
These fumes are really bad. Its like a bleach or a chemical smell thats is so strong it will Immediately take your breath away and cause you to sneeze and cough and your nose tingles and runs and your chest hurts.
It also can leave a metal taste in your mouth.
These fumes come and go. I dont know why they come and go.
Thank God its not constant or I could not stay here.
I had the maintenance men here several times and of course when they were here there are no fumes. They said they smell a slight Chlorine smell but nothing like I have experinced. I guess they thought I was crazy.
I cannot understand whats going on.
I called the water department and they said I had to take it up with my Condo management. They had not put an overload of Chlorine in the water supply, etc.
I have had many water leaks in my unit. Weeks ago the managment had the plumbers fix a pipe that was leaking in my wall. They also replaced another pipe that feeds the whole building and it runs down inside of the walls of my unit. It almost seems like the fumes started after the plumbers were here.
These units are old and there have been many repairs to the pipes over the yeas. Could it be mildew inside the walls? I dont see any evidence of mildew on the walls. Can mildew produce these kinds of horrible fumes?
What could cause these fumes to come and go?
No one I have called so far can tell me what this is or what to do about it.
I am so worried about breathing these fumes. I am now getting slight headaches from these fumes. I have fans running and I keep the patio door and the window open as much as possible.
Please can anyone tell me if they know why this is happening and how I can fix this horrible problem.
Thank-You for your help
