How to eliminate that musty ‘basement’ smell

Mold and mildew are big basement problems, but they can be solved

Finished basement with wood paneling

Do you avoid spending time in your basement because of its unpleasant odors? Whether it's finished or not, basements are typically cool, damp, and have little airflow going through them, which are all factors that contribute to its musty smell. Unfortunately, it takes more than general cleaning practices and air fresheners to rid the space of mustiness for good. Take a look at some of these tried-and-true methods for how to get rid of musty smell in basement spaces, so you can keep it smelling light, airy, and fresh.
1. Find the culprit of the musty smell

If you smell that common musty stench, the culprit is often mold or mildew. Since basements tend to be damp and have little airflow, they are common hot spots for mold and mildew growth. The first step in preventing further growth by sealing any leaky spots and inefficient drains.
Leaking windows and doors
Check your basement's exterior doors and windows for signs of moisture. Since leaks on the first floor can often drain into the basement, check the windows and doors on the main floor as well. If you find moisture around these entry points from rain or condensation, re-seal the area or call a professional to repair it.
Leaking pipes
Whether pipes are visible in your basement or not, you need to check them regularly for leaks. Examine any water and sewage pipes for signs of leaks and repair any cracks or poor seals. If plumber's tape or epoxy putty can't repair the leak, it's time to call a professional.
Dried-up drains
Basement floor drains direct water out of the home to keep the floors dry and prevent them from flooding. The stagnant water in this drain also traps bad odors emanating from the sewage system below. However, these drains can dry up from infrequent use, releasing stench into the air. If you notice smells arising near your floor drains, just pour a few cups of water into the drain to block the gases from escaping.

Choosing the right grout for your tiling project can significantly impact both the aesthetic and durability of your work. The debate of sanded vs. unsanded grout is a common one among DIY regrouting enthusiasts and professionals alike. That's why we are going to explore the differences between these two types of grout, discuss the best applications for each, and provide tips on care and cost considerations.
Sanded vs. unsanded grout: What's the difference?

Sanded grout is composed of a cement-based mix that includes sand particles. The addition of sand helps make the grout more durable and less prone to shrinking, since the sand particles in the grout provide additional strength, making it less likely to crack over time.
