I have a super human sense of smell. While this drives me (and my family, friends and co-workers) crazy at times, it sure does come in handy in the real estate business. If a house has any musty smell, even hidden in a closet, I’ll usually smell it before my shoes are off at the door.

In my own home, this once resulted in my tearing off a piece of drywall in an interior closet only to find a coffee cup between two sheets of drywall left behind by the contractor. No one else could smell it but to my nose, it was so musty that I couldn’t sleep at night even one floor away.

Do your windows sweat in the winter? Have you noticed more static cling when you take clothes out of the dryer?
It is usually in the colder months when we most notice moisture issues in our home.
