There is a dangerous culprit, lurking in basements and crawlspaces. It's called water. During the winter and spring months, homes are more susceptible to water damage due to snow melt and heavy rainfall. Homes with foundation cracks are more prone to water damage. As water seeps through cracks, it causes them to widen over time. Often, these conditions lead to a musty odor throughout the home as well as mold growth. So when it comes to a leaky basement, it's important to get them repaired immediately to prevent further damage and costly repairs.
