Musty smell- foyer and stairs

Jackal2002

Hello all
Home built in about 1942. Center set staircase ends right at the front door....there typically was a bit musty smell by door in warm/humid weather. Also, few years ago realized lot of damage under door threshold-water, some insect- we had it packed with concrete.
Suddenly now very strong musty smell starting at door and going up stairs. I also believe mice getting in underneath step by door....all I can think is increased moisture getting in from mice. Any suggestions on drying it out then sealing? Any other thoughts appreciated!
