I have a cold water feed pipe coming up into my bathroom to my toilet and where it comes out of the floor there is a light brown, fungal, mushroom like growth growing around the bottom of the pipe caused presumably by condensation dripping down the pipe and gathering where it emerges from the floor.

Does anyone know of the best method of treating this?
 
Strong bleach will do the trick me thinks,will kill it all off,fungus spores spread, so clean all around pipe ,surrounding floor and wall


imho
 
puddles on the ball again:cool: beware damp may have penetrated under floor boards regards turnpin
 
i had that once, apparently a mould growth around the water pipe then went to the doctor and prescribed betnovate. worked a treat in 3 days.
