💡 Musty Smell in the Basement: A Warning Sign You Shouldn’t Ignore!

When viewing a property or conducting a pre-purchase inspection, the characteristic smell of damp in the basement should never be taken lightly.

Often, this odor is directly linked to the presence of fungal contamination (mold) hidden behind walls, under coverings or in building materials.

🔍Why is it important?

Even if the surface appears clean, mold can grow hidden from view, affecting indoor air quality and the health of occupants.

👉The solution:

If this odor is detected, an indoor air quality test will confirm the presence and type of suspended spores, and thus better target the necessary corrective interventions.

☣️Ignoring this sign means running the risk of discovering significant… and costly damage later.
