HIDDEN MOLD CLUE
Musty Smell in the House
A persistent musty odor can point to damp materials or mold growth, particularly when there has been a leak, flood, condensation or chronic humidity.
Where to look
Check basements, bathrooms, areas around plumbing, beneath sinks, near windows, around previous roof leaks and spaces affected by earlier water damage. The goal is to find the moisture condition rather than simply mask the odor.
When the source is not obvious
If the smell persists after normal cleaning and ventilation, a closer investigation for hidden moisture can help narrow down the cause.
