Damp House

I seem to be running into all sorts of issues . This started with my storage heater having lamped the electric and I switched it off.I know its been damp outside and I know I have switched all heating off but I cant account for the dampness I am now getting. I have had the heating off before in summer and not had this.I have one room that smells of garlic! Mustiness I suppose. I sure its damp. I can feel its damp in the air. All my carpets are damp when you walk on them - yet I cant find the cause. I've looked for leaks, gutters, floorboards.Signs of mould are now beginning to appear on walls, black bitty stuff. ( those which have an outside surface) . Wallpaper is feeling damp and it is peeling in a couple of corners. Never had that before ( except in the bathroom - always have a condensation problem there).I am out of ideas for the cause. Anyone any experiences? House is double glazed except for two windows, and roof insulated. Its a brick built detached bungalow circa 1958 build.

Ship some for free, over here, will they? Or should I be asking you, as it seems awfully like you spamming.
