What Is That Damp Smell Trying to Tell You About Your Home?

Image
       You know the smell. It's the faint earthy smell that greets you when you walk into the basement after heavy rain or the musty smell that lingers in dusty rooms. No matter how regularly you mop, it seems owners now grow up and find it a piece to get used to. Others try to cover it up with scented candles, air fresheners, or open house windows, hoping that the crisp air will make it disappear. Unfortunately, a damp smell is never just unpleasant air. More regularly, it is your property type telling you that there cannot be excess moisture anywhere. While the smell itself may seem innocent, it is capable of indicating hidden problems with water intrusion, poor ventilation, mold growth, or accumulated moisture under your home.

How Moisture Beneath Your Home Can Lead to Bigger Problems

Image
Most homeowners don’t spend a lot of time thinking about what’s happening beneath their home—and understandably so. Because it's hidden from view, most homeowners don't think about it until something goes wrong. Unfortunately, moisture problems often go unnoticed until they cause significant damage. Small amounts of moisture under your home may not seem like a serious problem at first. The soil naturally retains moisture, and moisture levels change with the seasons.
