Hello,

I became the owner of a house built in 1952.
The basement is very musty.

What would be best to do now?

Hi, initially I would set up some good dehumidifiers and see if that helps dry it out. However, the cause of the moisture still needs to be identified. The money for an expert is certainly well spent!

Best regards,
Andreas

Hi, Aren't dehumidifiers basically out of place here? Because with that I only pull the water through the masonry and accelerate the damage to the walls. The cause should be fixed first.
