This winter we find our house has a musty smell. We are trying to distinguish what may cause this problem. We would like any hints or suggestions to what we can do about it.

Hi there. Thank you for visiting eRenovate.com. If your home has a stale, musty odor you may have a condition known as Sick Home Syndrome. This occurs in homes with excess moisture and inadequate ventilation. These factors can cause toxins, pollutants and gases to accumulate and nurture mold and dust mites, making you and your family sick. The unpleasant basement or crawl space odors are a warning sign of an unhealthy indoor environment that will affect your health and moisture saturation that can cause costly structural damage. To reduce or eliminate this problem, you might want to consider a good quality dehumidifier and have your HVAC system checked and repaired if it is not working properly to exchange house air and filter contaminants.
Best of luck!
