A musty smell after a backup points to hidden moisture. Call early, because that smell usually comes from material that needs to be cut out.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Census data lists 15,843 residents in the 1 ZIP code around Platteville, and a home built in the 1970s is typical there. Paneled walls and glued carpet were common in basement rec rooms of this period. Sewage soaks in behind both.
Cold basements slow drying. The crew uses LGR dehumidifiers and heat to keep moisture readings moving down in winter. Duplexes and small buildings may share one sewer pipe. A blockage can show up in one unit and affect the other.
