Musty smell

[Steven Maduro]

So you either own a house or are looking at properties and you smell a really bad musty odor

Could be mold or it could be stagnant air in the crawl space

I recently was working on a home where there was a really really bad musty smell

It was enough to make you sick 

I thought mold remediation and was imagining the costs

Then a native from the area heard about my problem and asked if my crawl space vents were opened

He stated  the air can get really stagnant if they are closed

Sure enough they were closed by whom? Yours truly I am sorry to say

I remember two years ago walking by them and closing them for no reason at all but that I was idle and ignorant 

Since opening the vents the smell has disappeared 

Always check the cheap options first
