Mysterious Mustiness
 
It’s easy to know where musty or moldy odors are coming from after you have suffered from a water damage, which happens from a broken pipe, overflowing toilet or flooding from rainwater, left the laundry in the washer over a vacation to mention a few.
 
But what do you do when you notice a mysterious “musty” odor in your home? Nothing is broken. There was no big storm. The sump pump is chugging away like normal.
 
Mysterious musty odors can be caused by a variety of situations. Figuring out where they are coming from and remediating them is the challenge.
 
What are some common causes?
 
Crawlspaces- The earth was evaporating moisture up through the ground where your house now sits for millions-billions of years. So, look what you have done… you set your home where the moisture is still wanting to come up! Your foundation has in effect made a funnel that now directs that moisture into your home.  If the water intrusion is minimal, you might not even know it is happening, until your nose knows… detecting that mysterious musty odor. We offer free Crawlspace estimates.
 
Leaky drains are another cause of musty odors. If the leak is very slow, water can drip, drip, drip… and over time cause damage under sinks. You don’t notice it because it’s hidden, and the amount of water is contained in a small area. But you start to notice the smell, that mysterious mustiness that you are determined to eradicate. We offer reasonably priced Moisture Inspections,
 
Severe condensation on windows is easy to see but often homeowners don’t appreciate the damage potential. This odor-causing issue is caused by excessive moisture in the home, especially in the winter when windows draw the moisture onto cold surfaces. The moisture itself isn’t the problem. The problem is when the moisture moves down into the window sills and any natural woodwork or even wall interiors get wet and create that mysterious musty odor.
 
What can you do? Do an inspection. Look at all areas in your home that water can intrude or accumulate. One aid we provide is a book That Lee wrote called “Mold (does not have to be) a Scary Subject” Go to www.freemoldbook.com   for your digital copy, or available on Amazon.

Cleaning and repairing after the water damage is a stressful task and one that needs to be carried out properly.
