A musty smell in rooms above a crawl space is a classic sign that your crawl space vapour barrier isn’t working. When ground moisture rises through bare soil or a torn barrier, it feeds mould and mildew on joists and subfloor, and that damp air drifts up through gaps in the floor. A properly sealed barrier stops most of that moisture at the source and helps keep your indoor air fresher through BC’s long, wet winters. Read about what causes a musty crawl space.

A furnace burning smell that reminds you of melting plastic or hot electrical wiring should never be ignored. It usually means something inside the furnace is overheating, such as the blower motor, a capacitor, the control board or the wiring. It can also mean a plastic object has fallen near the burners. Turn the furnace off at the thermostat and at the furnace switch, then book a repair. Calgary's Purcell Heating & Air explains why this is the smell technicians take most seriously and what happens next.
