The musty smell in the basement was getting stronger every day, so we finally tackled the carpet. We pulled up a corner to check for moisture underneath and found a small leak in the concrete floor. After sealing that and running a dehumidifier for a week, the carpet started smelling fresh again. It took some elbow grease and patience, but now the basement actually feels like usable space instead of a damp storage pit.
