When it comes to plumbing leaks, unfortunately, you don’t usually notice it until it’s too late. Bernie Buchner, Inc. has over 60 years of experience in plumbing and HVAC services. Their mission is to provide the people of the La Crosse, WI, area with the best service. Part of that incredible customer service is letting you know the signs of a plumbing leak so you can rectify the problem before leak does any real damage.

Some of the signs include:

• Stained or Sagging Ceiling: More than likely, a stained ceiling is a good indication that a water leak is present. Since water moves, it’s also likely that it may not be in the room directly under a bathroom, and that the leak could be anywhere in the house.
• The Sound of Water: If you’re hearing water dripping or running, but no appliances, faucets or toilets are running toilet, chances are something may be leaking.
• Mold And Mildew: If there is an area in your house that has developed an abnormally damp or musty smell, you may be smelling mold or mildew from a leak.
• Blistered or Stained Paint or Wallpaper: Heat or steam does not cause this to happen in paint or wallpaper, so, if this is what you’re seeing, call the plumber today.
• Soft Floors: Floors should always feel firm and secure. If you step on a floor that feels soft or spongy, even if there are no visible signs of water, you should call a plumber to check for a leak in the pipes that run under your floor.

If you’re seeing any of these signs, or if you’re noticing a leak after damage has occurred and need emergency help, call Bernie Buchner, Inc. at (608) 784-9000.
