Anyone have experience that could help?

Second chimney

I've had a strange musky/smokey smell in my house in that mostly appears between late evening and morning, I assume because the house I sealed up during these times.

My daughter's room has a Dyson air purifier in it and it registers a 2 out of 4 for VOC most nights.

Previously we had leaks in an extension roof, one room which borders my daughters, and we have found completely rotted wood in it. Wall frames and floor beams.

We are now looking to gut that room completely (by professionals) down to the concrete base and walls. I'm sure this has contributed to something.

But something got me thinking tonight, we have a second chimney which I've never thought too much about. I don't know it's original use as there is no fire place but I've a feeling it is now being used as a vent for an under stairs drying room.

Anyone have any experience or insights with any of this that could help solve my problems?
