my basement has a smell like wet rank soil how do I get rid of the smell? basement has never flooded basement is concrete block
Answer:
This is probably a form of mould that is forming in there and although you cannot see it, the odour tells you that the basement has more atmospheric moisture than it should have. Ventilate, ventilate, ventilate.
