Dry Rot and Musty Odors

In a dirt crawlspace or leaking basement, moisture and water from the ground can seep up into the crawlspace or basement causing dry rot and decay. Dry rot is a fungus that grows and feeds off damp wood. Hence, the beams that hold a house together slowly disintegrate over time.

The result is structural damage and musty, foul odors in a home. If a damp smell is already evident, the decay is well underway. Sometimes the dry rot is so well underway that floors become saggy or bouncy. Sometimes cracks appear, especially around door frames. The doors then warp or become sticky and squeaky and won't close properly.
