    Mould spreading after a fixed water leak

    Can mould spread throughout a home even if there isn’t a water leakage issue? Mould is still spreading in different rooms of the house. It all started with a big leak several years ago but that issue was fixed and I don’t see any other signs of leakage. So is it possible that some of the mould simply survived the initial effort to kill it off and has spread from there even without a renewed problem with water leaking? I know that moisture can cause the problem too. How can I tell if moisture/humidity levels are too high in my home? And how can I rule out the possibility that a new water leak is helping the mould to spread again?

    Is a water meter best for family of 4?

    I’ve heard mixed reviews about water meters vs flat rate tariffs. We obviously don’t waste water but between 4 of us we use a fair amount each day. Is it cheaper to get a water meter installed?

    EXTERIOR SOIL STACK PIPE

    Hi, My vertical soil stack pipe that carries the toilet waste from the upper levels of my house to the underground drainage system is seeping water from all the joints. All the seals look corroded and need replacing. Also the joint at the ground floor window level is slowly being pushed apart. Its pushing outwards. There is no bracket fixing it to the wall. The pipe is not solid in the ground, it moves. Could the joint that is pulling apart just be fixed by fixing a bracket to the wall and/or should the pipe be moving in the ground and if not how does that get fixed? I have been told that I should ask a plumber. Would be grateful for any advice. Thanks.
