Even Seemingly Normal Crawl Spaces Can Be Gross
At first glance, this crawl space seems fine. It certainly isn't some of the nightmares we run across. But ambient moisture is relatively invisible, save for the damage it can cause.
Water Damage on Crawl Space Block Wall
The wet appearance of the base of this wall is from water damage - likely ambient moisture (humidity) since the owner of the house has never noticed any standing water.
Possible Source of Musty Smell in Crawl Space
This looks like some nice mold and muck. Note the water staining on the blocks.
Crawl Space Vent Lets in Moisture
Hm. I wonder why the crawl space has moisture problems and weird smells. Could it be this crawl space vent, which leaves the space exposed to the elements? (Yes.)
Heavy Water Damage in Corner of Crawl Space
Here's another possible source of the smell, or at least the root cause of what's creating the smell. There is heavy water damage in this corner, which means it's an entry point for water. There's also a lot of duct tape, but we don't know why. Just go with it.
