Frequently Asked Questions

A musty smell almost always means moisture is trapped somewhere you can't see, and in manufactured homes that's usually underneath the structure or inside the wall cavities. By the time you can smell it, moisture has often been sitting there for a while.

Common hidden sources include:

• Crawlspace moisture. A damaged or missing vapor barrier lets ground moisture rise straight into your home.
• Slow plumbing leaks. A small drip under a sink or behind a wall panel can go unnoticed for months while it feeds mold growth.
• Poor ventilation. Mobile homes have tighter, more sealed construction than site-built homes, so trapped humidity has nowhere to go.
• Condensation around ductwork. If your ducts run through unconditioned space, condensation can build up and soak insulation over time.

That smell is your home telling you something. We'll track down the actual source instead of just masking it with a fan or a dehumidifier, because a damp smell today is mold remediation tomorrow if it's left alone.
