We could smell something musty in the hallway closet but never found anything. Turned out to be a slow leak behind the wall from an old pipe. They found it in under an hour and the smell was gone once the work was done.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Stonington-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
The mold cleanup itself was great. The only hiccup was a reschedule due to weather.

Good to know
Mold Odor Removal in Stonington, CT: common questions
Can there be mold if I can't see any?
Yes. Mold often grows inside wall cavities, under flooring, or in ductwork long before it becomes visible on a surface. A persistent musty smell is one of the most common signs of hidden growth.
How do you find odor without visible mold?
We walk the space to locate where the smell is strongest, then use a moisture meter to check nearby walls, floors, and baseboards. If needed, we open a small access point to confirm what's happening inside a cavity.
Is a musty smell in my basement normal for Connecticut homes?
A faint concrete smell can be normal, but a strong, persistent musty odor usually isn't. It's worth having checked, especially in basements near foundations that see spring runoff.
How soon can you start mold odor removal in Stonington?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Stonington home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Will air fresheners or ozone machines fix the smell?
They can mask odor temporarily but don't address the source. If mold or trapped moisture is causing the smell, it will typically return once the treatment wears off.
What if you can't find a source?
It happens occasionally, especially with faint or intermittent smells. We'll tell you honestly if we don't find active moisture or mold rather than recommending unnecessary removal.
Do I need to leave my Stonington home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Stonington home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Stonington?
Yes. We cover all of Stonington, including Mystic, Noank, Old Mystic, and the rest of the Stonington area. We are based in Pawcatuck, about 10 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
