Strangest thing happened. My bathtub tap was leaking quite a bit. Made my

1 bedroom apartment really humid. I ended up with mold growing on all the windows as water condensed on the window panes and sills. Has this ever happened to you?

1. This is not good.

How long has it been going on? Mold and mildew can create respiratory problems.

2. Maybe two weeks. I noticed the humidity two weeks ago. I noticed the mold

just Friday. Landlord came in and had the tap fixed this morning.

3. You're okay, then.

4. Well now it's fixed, clean up the mould and mildew with bleach.

There should be a mixing ratio for mould an mildew on the bottle.

And think about keeping a window cracked for ventilation.

5. Yes. I'll keep the window open. Already cleaned one window with fantastic. Mildew came

off without any effort. On to the next window. I was surprised that a bathtub drip could be vapourized - but I guess if the drip is substantial and runs 24/7 it adds up.

6. It's the spatter which doesn't run together and down the gurgler.

If you have individual droplets just sitting there, what are they going to do but evaporate to recondense on that nice chilly windowpane.

5 drops to the ml (more or less), so one drip a second is a little over 17 litres a day.

7. Wow. That makes sense. I should have got on it earlier. Live and learn. Thanks.

8. I would be concerned.

It's somewhat common for widows to be less active than other women, but they shouldn't be so inactive that they start to grow mold. Also a one bedroom place sounds small for a whole group of them to be staying there. Have you asked if they have anywhere else they can go?

9. LOL!

10. My strangest plumbing encounter was a slow running shower faucet. When I opened up

the faucet, I found it was jammed by a piece of wood.

There is wood in our water supply.

I assume it was a bit of a root that invaded the pipe.
