Hi, I'm not sure if anyone can help but Google isn't giving me an answer. 5months ago we moved into a new house, it has a unused fireplace and no chimney. When we first moved in I scrubbed the inner walls of the fireplace but it has days when it smells really musty. There's only a little slit up to what I suppose would be the old chimney hearth/wall. How do I get rid of the smell?
Thanks for any help you can offer
