Best Answer

A musty odour is most often associate with dampness, which may be from a structural problem such as a bridged (e.g. buried) damp-proof course or a leaky roof; from poor ventilation perhaps combined with condensation; or from a leaking pipe.

The smell is probably that of decaying cellulose - typically wood, paper or natural-fibre fabrics.

So tracking down the source of the odour should point to the problem itself, hence its specific cure.
