What does a musty smell with no visible mold indicate?
A musty odor without visible mold often warrants a professional inspection, as it can signal growth within wall cavities or under flooring.
Can hidden mold cause a house to smell musty?
Yes, mold growing inside enclosed spaces releases odorous compounds that can permeate the home before it becomes visible.
