### Why is there a weird smell coming from under my house?
Musty or damp odors emanating from beneath a house often stem from moisture problems in the crawlspace or basement. These areas may experience water intrusion, inadequate ventilation, or excessive humidity, fostering mold growth and resulting in unpleasant odors.

Odors can originate from various sources. Common culprits include:

**- Pet Urine and Feces:** Unsanitary conditions or accidents can leave behind lingering odors from pet waste.
**- Food Spoilage:** Decomposing food in trash cans, refrigerators, or pantries can create foul odors.
