The musty smell from the basement carpet had been getting worse each rainy season. After days of trying air fresheners that only masked it, I finally decided to pull up the carpet. The padding underneath was damp and crumbling, with dark water stains spreading from the walls. I treated the concrete floor with an enzyme cleaner, let it dry out for three days with fans running, and sealed the concrete before installing new carpet. The smell is completely gone now.
