Could damp basement affect kids' health?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the basement, even though it’s usually dry. The walls seemed a bit wet, and there was a noticeable musty smell that wouldn’t go away no matter how many times I aired out the space. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I’m starting to wonder if the indoor air quality might be an issue down there. Could this be causing their symptoms, and what can I do about it?
