A few weeks back we started getting a mold smell in the furnace/laundry room. I couldn't see anything, so I started checking with a moisture meter.

It measures about 17% here and goes up to 25% at the bottom.

25% down here
Zero moisture here, though, which seems odd? 90 degrees to wall that shows moisture.

I took off the panel above the furnace. No sigh of leaks and meter reads 0 on all drywall inside (of course it's hot in there, so if there was moisture it would go away quickly)

I guess it must be coming from above?
