While this is an ancient post at this point, chances are if the housing itself was intact (door, table, chair, walls, background), the crimson or corruption spread just a bit too close for the housing to be suitable anymore. Annoying, but it happens. Best bet in late game is to go nuts with a clentaminator. Early game? Dig a trench around your housing and expand out slowly looking for corruption (if it's not obvious). Remove it when you find it, then leave a trench three blocks wide (to be future proof) around 50+ blocks away from the house with no corruption on the house side of it. You can fill it with snow if that's preferred. There are other options as well, though I can't say I've tested enough to be 100% certain which blocks work.
