What if the wall cracks are not connected to the ground, for example in a flat high up in a building?
Then it is not geopathic stress at all. Geopathic stress means cracks produced by the internal movement and pressure of the earth; a crack that does not come from the pressure of the earth is a matter for civil engineering. Fill it with white cement.

Are cracks in the middle of a building a kind of building geopathic stress?
No. If the cracks do not come up from below and appear in the middle of the structure, it is a civil defect, for example curing that was not done properly. Where true geopathic stress exists, hardly a single brick stays unbroken or in its place.

Can mercury be used in a flat, and how much?
Yes, in a small quantity. Of the 100 g per 1000 sq ft used for a house, half goes underground and the rest at the flooring stages, with 25 percent going in when the flooring stones are laid. A flat takes only that share: 25 percent, that is 25 g per 1000 sq ft.
