49+ Damp Carpet From Humidity Pics
49+ Damp Carpet From Humidity Pics. The dampness does not seem to be too far into the carpet, but of course, far enough (like maybe 3 feet from the wall). Every summer when the humidity got high the carpet emitted a mildewy smell.
Wet carpet can be a perfect breeding ground for mold, especially if the air is humid and the water remains in place longer than 48 hours.
Basements are notoriously damp places, even those that seem dry to our sight, touch, and smell. Having a damp carpet smell after cleaning should not be neglected. Carpet in two different rooms has had to be ripped up around 5 times there's no apparent smell, but i swear the carpet feels damp (not wet, just cold and damp). Carpeting in basements below grade level is especially at risk in areas where humidity is high, or where wide temperature reduce indoor humidity.
