Should I worry about musty smell in basement?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain we had last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the basement. It’s been getting worse over the past couple of weeks, especially when it’s humid outside. The walls in there look slightly damp, and my kids have been complaining of coughing fits every morning. How urgent should I be about this issue?
