• Source Removal: Scrubbing walls won't help if water is still entering. They stop the water intrusion first.
• Humidity Control: They install energy-efficient dehumidifiers alongside drainage systems to keep relative humidity below the level where mold can grow.
• Material Removal: They can advise on removing water-damaged organic materials (like drywall or carpet) that are harboring the smell.

Takeaway: To fix a moldy smelling basement, you must hire a waterproofer, not a cleaner. Stop the water, and the smell will follow.
