Should I worry about preventing mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell starting to develop in my basement. The floor tiles are starting to look a bit discolored, and there's a small area that feels slightly damp under the carpet. Should I be worried about mold, and if so, what’s the best approach—should I try to clean it myself or hire professionals?
